The act and deeds of mankind
Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)
mother earth has many children
but she favors men
upon whom's lands
sin flourishes now and then
and upon whom's farms fear grows sudden
because the love for guns
ignores the power of the pen
the trees cries out of pain and agony
for men in power means calamity
this is what they call humanity
upon all what we produce
for them to use
it's us they abuse
