Listen

Listen closely...

Do you hear the wind running through the trees?
That is grandmother, helping people to see.

Do you hear the ocean rushing to the beach?
That is grandfather, yearning to teach.

Do you hear the fire crackling in the forest?
That is uncle, clearing the path before us.

Do you hear the birds high in the air?
They are our children, screaming "Beware!"

Listen to our earth
And you will see
That all is not exactly as it should be.
