American Mothers

American mothers Sit by the sea Waiting for the tides What will they be like Chinese at a wall Standing together They don't know what for English fathers Look to the sky Holding their children They don't know why Animals Could you survive in the wild Animals Could you survive in the wild Mystic fantastic Your hands, your mouth We are all someone from somewhere else Walk into your backyard and feel your plants They are creating the air you breathe They are a part of you, do you see Do you see through the spider web Down the ancient vines The idea of time Animals Would you survive in the wild Animals Would you survive in the wild Animals Would you survive in the wild Were we meant to run together Or meant to run alone
