Living

What for?

Asks the woman

Looking at the dead body

of her child

Living

What for?

What is your answer

Sun

Moon

and Earth

What are our answers

Human

Kinds

And kindred souls

Whose minds

Worked so well

Played the roles

Why is that for?

Do we need more

More of those tears

Mankind

Manmean

Where is the future

We have to offer

To our own

Child

Masters

Cry no more,

Mother

Cry no more

I will smother

Your tears

With laughter

And kiss you

Until

You smile

I want to see

Your face light up

Another child

Another life

I want to give to you

Cry nom ore

Mother

I cry too

I cry for you

Endlessly at night

I dream of you

I dream of your dreams

And I want to soothe

You with gentle kisses

Soft on your cheeks

And always, always

Ease your pain

Mother

I cannot bear your tears

If I could relive your child I would

Please let me cry your river

So you can smile a sun

And when it sets for you

On the last time

I want to cry your river

So you can travel in peace

On your boat

Going to the other world

The other side is smiles

I want you to travel free

With a star in your eye

You who know all the secrets

Why is there so much pain?

What is there to gain

To hurting a lifetime

Of sadness inflicted

To others to selves to wives

To brothers sisters and elsewhere
