Will the hum drum of before,
deafen the call to freedom and life?
All we have seen,
all we know and understand,
what will it take to wake up and change,
from plunder, slavery, division, squander and harm?
The earth has sent a message.
A subtle nudge to say change.
Does the earth need to shout,
to explode with full force
of earthquake, storm, fire, heat and cold?
We are faced with life or death,
capitalism or something new.
The earth has sent a message.
Are we brave enough to try?
To seek life!
