This is kind of a collection of verses written over time. I haven't really organized them or put music to it yet.

When the sacred orb reflects on us
Can you see ourselves in her?
Do you see where we are headed?
Our very twin at birth.
What will make us stop
F---ing our mother earth?

You cry out that you donate to your local charity,
but a conservation sticker won't make up for your SUV

Landmines left for child play
Alaskan oil to light our way.
Murder of innocents day by day
And a single species left to pray.

Jesus died to free us from sin,
And so we shall to free us fom him.
Sex religion and politics
Have a strangle hold on us
And our beloved mother pays the bill
losing faith and trust.

When you drill for oil in sacred earth
And drop your bombs on a childs birth
The Ogoni won't forgive you
The U'Wa won't forgive you
Iraqi's and Palestinians won't forgive you.
You will pay for your crimes against humanity.

"...apathy isn't it...we can do something. Ok, so flower power didn't work, so what? We start again." John Lennon
