Mother Earth (Free verse) by DewDrop
In sun scorched Nicaragua Malnutrition is one in eight child's middle name They farm coffee beans for peanuts And we pay 3 dollars a cup. A film star and his film star wife, a nobody from the valleys Are in the High Court, they've been wronged, someone took photos at their wedding show You can see the point: They'd sold the rights for a million or so. Another rain forest is cleared for cattle And BK sells the flame-grilled fodder to the troops in Kuwait Hey, nobody likes incest, especially when Nuclear Weapons are involved. Justice? Ask the grieving mother of a stillborn.
