Long live the Child Long live the Mother and Father Long live the People Long live this wounded Planet Long live the good milk of the Air Long live the spawning Rivers and the mothering Oceans Long live the juice of the Grass and all the determined greenery of the Globe Long live the Elephants and the Sea Horses, the Humming-Birds and the Gorillas, the Dogs and Cats and Field-Mice – all the surviving Animals our innocent Sisters and Brothers Long live the Earth, deeper than all our thinking we have done enough killing Long live the Man Long live the Woman Who use both courage and compassion Long live their Children
