Mother              ( edit)

we measured every element,
down to your iron core we scanned.
but who you are is long forgotten,
secret gardens reaped and rotten.

your name´s denied and undermined,
we craft our gods and false commands    
as a warrant to despoil your limbs!          
the answer that we´ll hear is grim:

we´re self-aware but cancerous fruit,
sprouts oblivious to our roots,
we ache because
we share your wounds.






previous version:

mother

we measured every element
down to your iron core we scanned
but who you are is long forgotten
secret gardens reaped and rotten.

deprived you of your mystic name
invent a god who´s far away
for to despoil you of your limbs
“make earth subject” as bible prints

but we´re your children,
you´re our ground
we ache cause we do
share your wounds.
