Our earth is wounded. Her oceans and lakes are sick; Her rivers are like running sores; The air is filled with subtle poisons. And the oily smoke of countless hellish fires blackens the sun. Day has become night.

Fish are born deformed; birds fall lifeless from the sky. Forests and plains wither. Animals running in futile search for shelter and food Collapse and die.

Men and women, scattered from homeland, family,friends, Wander desolate and uncertain, scorched by a toxic sun, Prey to empty longings, strange diseases and sudden death.

Nor is night a cooling time of moonlit rest, But a fearful flame-lit void Of sirens, cries and murderous phantoms. In this desert of frightened, blind uncertainty, Some take refuge in the pursuit of power, of knowledge and technique; Some become manipulators of illusion and deceit; Some take refuge in realms of self-satisfied passion; And some build up a golden wall of simple wealth.

Men have become robots and zombies As they have made these hopes and fears Their ruthless demonic lords.

If goodness and bravery still dwell in this world As other than a flickering shadow on the edge of sleep, If wisdom and harmony still dwell in this world As other than a dream lost in an unopened book, They are hidden in out heartbeat. And it is from our hearts that we cry out. We cry out and out voices are the single voice of this wounded earth. Our cries are a great wind across the earth.
