A CHILD OF THE EARTH I am a child of the Earth Priceless and Rare A child so fair Drinking its love since birth At first I understood not why Hunger made me weak No one to me would speak And I would cling to the Earth and cry And many questions rose in my brain Why were my clothes torn? Why was I weary and worn? Why did I have to sleep out in the rain? And as I grew the answers came to me I was a child of the Earth Which was my house and my hearth To share it's joy and pain was my destiny And now as on it's cold bosom I lie Its anguished love to share I see before me laid bare The souls of the Averted Eyes scurrying by.

Awesome work here hon, somehow I felt tribal rumblings and modern day ones as well. Great work  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Deepak, my friend~ How good to see you again. I enjoyed this render very much. We are all but children of the earth ... seeking - reaching - finding. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

"The souls of the Averted Eyes scurrying by." In true dark terms... we are all the 'to be' children of the 'future' grave... are we not? But whilst we live, lets be 'flower' children of Mother earth... Deepak, an excellent poem here... regards, sudhir |

The "Averted Eyes" are our own - dont we shy away from even seeing any sort of unpleasent or unsavoury thing? But such are the frailties of human behaviour - stemmed by helplessness maybe... Deepak |
