Bargaining

 

Something’s wrong
I can feel it
Hiding inside a sunny day.

Trees burning,
People drowning
We’ve had our better days.

Ice is melting
Earth is shifting
Nature doesn’t love us anymore.

Crimes of diversion
By us, and our fathers
Brought shame to her doors.

What held it together
In good and bad weather,
Through grieving moved away.

Sadly she cleans another of many,
Good starts, with bad endings
Unless, we woo her love today.
