Analysis of Our pounding Earth
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
heartbeat of life
Yet we pound and pound at it with our wars and strife
The unforgiven flow through its rivers and tides beside the forgiven
The whole time we try to stay alive without it
Gods will shares the win
Poor or rich
Taught fast or not at all
