WOMAN OF MY TIME
Morning star
in the evening
Sunrise off
the moon.
Doctor says
it's cancer
Dying--maybe
soon.
Woman of my
time
With death as my advisor
To act
impeccably
The moment as
my teacher
My only goal,
to see.
Woman of my
time.
Grandfather
owl, show me
Flying through
the night
Give my eyes
the long view
When choosing
what is right.
The earth is
healing.
Drank the
poison water
When I was
just a child
Poison seeped
into the ground,
Progress
running wild.
Woman of my
time.
Kids are playing on that
ground
Every single
day.
Cancer's
epidemic,
and no one
wants to see
The earth is
crying.
"Yes, you have
a cancer,
But please,
don't say the word.
I'm busy
making money,
And who can
save the world?
Women of our time.
Morning star
in the evening
Sunrise off
the moon
Deal the
cards, read the signs
Change is
coming soon
Women of our
time
Woman of my
time.
