Human Tears

He said

Every time it rains I want you to remember me

Remember that I wanted this for all humanity

When they're running for the bags of sand

As the floods are gathering

For we all have but a few short years

Before all the world is drowning

In human tears

Send our regards to the Maldives

Florida

Dominican Republic

And what's left of Haiti

Wave our goodbyes

Human tears

In human tears

All the world is drowning in human tears

Shame on the governments

With their arrogant greedy actions

Trying to make us all forget

With their slight of hand distractions

Pretending to model what will benefit

All of the common good

Boring holes into Mother Earth's spinning core

Cutting down her protected wood

See them watching from a tower high

Smiling down and waving

But they too shall wave a last goodbye

For all the world is drowning

In human tears

To the polar bears

Make them understand that no one cares

No one with authority who values them

As creatures with a life worth anything

Wave our goodbyes

Send them off to extinction drowning

In human tears

All the world is drowning

In human tears

He said

Every time it rains

I want you to remember me
