Mother Nature's Blood

Mother Nature’s Blood

Watch Mother Naure bleed

Kill one of her children

Shoot that mother deer

Leave the fawn to fend for itself

You won’t take the meat

You won’t use the pelt

The deer died for your amusement

You didn’t care that she didn’t die right away

She laid on a pile of leaves

Watching her baby hidden in the bushes

You just walked away

Looking for another target as she took her last breath

The little fawn cried as her mother’s eyes closed

She snuggled to wake her mom up to play

But her mother was gone

The hunters left hours later

The more deer lay dead across the woods

More babies were left orphaned

Mother Nature bleeds with every death

She can feel an animal’s soul go to Heaven

Her blood covers the forest

Only to be washed away in the rain

The roses though

The beautiful white roses

They hold on to the blood

They hold on to the memories of the fallen

And they will show Mother Nature’s blood on their petals

There it will remain until the moment when the killing stops

And Mother Nature bleeds no more.
