THE EARTH FOR ALL.
Thus saith the Lord., "Ye weary mc With prayers, and waste your own short years. Eternal truth ye cannot see. Who weep and waste your sight in prayers. In vain ye weep and watch the skies, No better fortune thus will fall. TJp from your knees I bid you rise, And claim the Earth for All. They ate up earth, and promised you The Heaven of an empty shell. 'Twas theirs to say, 'twas yours to do, On pain of everlasting Hell. They rob and leave you helplessly For the help of Heaven to cry and bawl. Heaven didn't make your misery, The Earth was given for all. Behold in bonds your Mother Earth, The rich man's prostitute and slave; Your mother, Earth, who gave you birth. You only claim her for a grave. Then will you die like slaves and see Your mother left a fettered thrall? Nay, act like men, and set her free As Heritage for all! , '
Gerald Massey.
