Long live the child
Long live the mother and child
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 surviving animals
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.
The Final Chant from the poem "The Body" by Adrian Mitchell (English Poet - 1932-2008)
