Forgive and Forget                                                                                                                      EARTH




                         Who is anger to take over our mind?

                                                                                                                                                Why are we blind to Earth’s silent weeps
              Battling with emotions, forbidding us to be kind.
                                                                                                                                                   Why don’t we realize her pain so deep

              What do we attain while negativity overcomes?                                                                                 In the terrain of ignorance we’ve come so far


                                                                                                                                            They’ll never forgive us,the sun and the stars
                     When vulgar cries, aggression becomes.
                                                                                                                                                                We’ve crossed all limits

             Let go of past grudges, for they bring us nothing


                                              but resentment,                                                                                             So much sorrow so much pain

                                                                                                                                                   All ‘cause of our power,wasted in vain
                 Forgive and forget and allow ourselves to be                                                                                        The Earth wreathing with the strain


                                        mirthful and pleasant.                                                                                      Their dreams all shattered and slain



                  Let go of holding onto outraged feelings and                                                                                               We’ve shattered her spirit

                Forgive and forget with a heart abundant with                                                                                             Even the sky seems to refrain

                    Why screw our brains, for mistakes keep                                                                                                                   reserve

                         To err is human, to forgive is divine,                                                                                The world much happier, the oceans clean
