Child of the earth

here's something .
not new.
just something.

the new face of the moon
creeps behind the shadows of the sun
the new face of the earth
child of the dirt

child of the earth
breathe the air so thin
lungs so weak
so that you can hardly speak
child of the earth
child of the dirt
fell to the blood
of the feathers in your wings

childs eyes so weak
eyes so blind
yet saw the war
saw the blood
the tears
the clouds the sun

childs eyes so weak
you have saved me
