Caught Every One

by Richard Doiron


 

We hear the pleas and agonies

Of Mother Earth so wide

Her tears now shed as for the dead

It's not to be denied

 

Millennia hushed while she was crushed

Beneath a world of woe

She now has stirred and all have heard

The way she's let us know

 

That giant slept the while we stepped

To mock her holy name

But now she's roused and where we're housed

It's flooding or it's flame

 

Our heads may spin but dues are in

And these are duly paid

No place to run caught every one

For how our beds were made
