Elegy

Mother
Defaced for the sake of your children spoiled by your forgiveness
This requiem will be heard

Gracious bounty
Undeserving of you
For my repentance
I will emancipate you

Mother
Slave no longer bound by human avarice

"But with our selfish improvidence humanity dirties our world, destroying this source of all life. If we humans suffer for our actions then maybe we'll get what we deserve."

Unnecessary luxuries have rendered my Mother defenseless
Unable to cleanse the leeches from Her back
I will take up the mantle

"We are creating a world in which innocent animals suffer as a result of our actions, and that is something that I can't forgive. The foolish acts of our fellow humans, the seas we have blighted, nature itself, I will return everything to its unspoiled beginnings."
