You
have always existed
from
the years,
When
my ancestros lived they took care of you
you
were,
the
most important
they
used your resources
they
didn´t squander you
you meant life for them.
you meant life for them.
You
have given everything of you
the
fruits of your fields the shelter to the animals
you have quietly been opening,
your
arms
giving the
best things of you.
What
are we doing today?
We destroyed your rivers
your trees, your nature
we don´t take care of you
we need your waters,
We destroyed your rivers
your trees, your nature
we don´t take care of you
we need your waters,
your
life.
What
will it be in some years?
What
will happen
with
the animals?
They
will die
by
the lack of protection.
When will I take care of you
When will I take care of you
as
my ancestros did?
When will I give you
When will I give you
the
best of me
that
you deserve
to
continue to live?
You
will always be there
but the birds
will not
sing
the same glad song
the
children will not
play
between
the trees
the
fish will not
be
able to swim in the waters
the animals and the humans
the animals and the humans
will
die
they
will not find
anything
good
in
your waters, your pure air
your
flowers in the fields,
the
animals jumping in the nature
we will not
find any happiness.
When will I take care
of
you,
as my
ancestros did?
