Good morning Mother

Good morning Mother
          your face bathed in red
As over the horizon
          your lover lifts his kingly head.

Good morning Father
          a generous King are thee,
To spread your magic light
          upon every rock and tree.

No thank you, Mother,
          I care not to dine
I have partaken
          of your fruited vine.

I must depart early
          and journey long,
An evil and perilous plague
          threatens Natures song

I must inform my brothers and sisters
          of the task to be done
By all the children
          of Mother Earth and Father Sun.

We must cleanse your majestic streams,
          that your magic waters might flow
From mountains high
          to valleys below.

We must restore your precious body
          and clear the poisons deposited there;
We must cleanse the toxins and pollutants
          from the air.

This is only a fragment
          of the urgent task to be done
By all the children
          of Mother Earth and Father Sun.

Good evening Mother,
          your face bathed in red
By your lover as he
          lays down his kingly head.

Good night Father
          may you peacefully sleep
While we below
          our vigilance keep.

Our mission merely started
          our assignment just begun,
a terrible burden lies upon us
          there is much to be done.

Now more than ever
          is the time for us to act as one
All the children
          of Mother Earth and Father Sun!
