A Mirror Refrain Poem
LET THE EARTH BREATHE
Forever bound to debt of trust
For the breath of life taken
From the Earth's immense kindness
Revere the breath of life sweetly given.
How do you show gratitude
When the donor grows helpless
Revere the breath of life sweetly given
From the Earth's immense kindness.
Generosity greatly exploited
The land that gives gravely shaken
From the Earth's immense kindness
Revere the breath of life sweetly given.
Reduce excessive consumerism
Lest garbage heaps grow endless
Revere the breath of life sweetly given
From the Earth's immense kindness.
Stop thinking of novel things to own
Learn to reuse, repair the broken
From the Earth's immense kindness
Revere the breath of life sweetly given.
Waste not, you'll want not
Be a saver, mend the weaken
Revere the breath of life sweetly given
From the Earth's immense kindness.
You're not here to use up all resources
Conserve for the descendants to enliven
From the Earth's immense kindness
Revere the breath of life sweetly given
