Weeping World

The world is weeping
Her babies cry
Starving and struggling
To reach the sky

Night so definite
Groaning infinite
While watchers wait
For some new state

Combusting and turning
Leaders debate
As hungry babies
Begin to cremate

In comes melody
Fight
A new stance
Sing

Peaceful babies
Cradled and warm
The earth feeds them
After all is won
