Madre Tierra

Someone gave you your own life
fruit of a painful love.
Someone gave you your own name
and marked your path.
They gave you the white milk of the moon
drawn from a satin nipple.

You...and who are you
if Mother Earth didn't exist?
You...who are you.

Someone traced your path
within the jungle,
gave you everything without asking for anything in return.
Someone kissed your forehead with a fresh mouth
and every night placed an angel in your room.

You...and who are you
if Mother Earth didn't exist?
You...and who are you.

Mother Earth, more lie than truth
it's just an idea in my mind
a memory to forget.
