Just something, written by an insomniac.
The Sky is crying
The pain of loss is too deep,
too much of youth is dying
All she can do is weep

Every word was too much
Even the prayers were too weak
The sky is crying
And death is starting to creep

The Earth is drowning
Too many children,
too much sin
All this crowding
No one knows how much pain she's in

These methods of suffocation
We don't try hard to invent
The Earth is drowning
Too much of Her blood, spent

Nature is dying
Taking it's last breath of air
Once it was thriving
Now no one seems to care that it's there

It has no time for tears
It's trying to live the last days of it's life Once it was thriving
Now all it's days, are filled with strife
