Water. Air. Sunlight. Plentiful food. Enough and more for all 8 billion of us And infinite little critters too

Skies and fields and forests and seas She gives us rain and fire and wool and wood Eyes to see and ears to hear and lips to kiss Hearts to feel and minds to think and hands to work

We have everything we could ever want All around us Yet some of us are sick with greed Some of us would sacrifice our mother Some would sacrifice each other Intergenerational trauma inflicted by patriarchy Industrialized blindness of scientific mindlessness Accumulated madness of over-accumulated wealth

And for this we would kill her For lack of will we would let her die The hummingbirds And dolphins And flowers And you and I and those we love

Will we abandon each other To the sickness that has taken hold Or can we acknowledge That it is up to us To save our mother And ourselves too While we're at it Nobody else will do it if we do not

We must fight With love in our hearts and our minds and our hands Love for our mother And love for each other Love for the birds in the sky And the fish in the sea And the ants in the dirt

They count too We need them too We cannot live without them We love you ants

So yes There is a war But we will not fight over scraps Or oil Or skin

We will fight to overcome ego Overcome fear Overcome hate With love and courage For our ancestors And our children And our children's children All of us All of us who are capable of love

We will fight hand in hand And we will win this war together And we will enjoy the fruits Of our mother earth Who gave birth to us all

You will love your mother Love your mother you beautiful fool

All together now We will love our mother All together now

We Love You
