Earth First!er’s Prayer

Spirit of the Earth,
spark my soul with your wild fire
so that my path is brightened
by the light of your love
and my tears are dried
by your burning rage.
Let my right hand
soothe your battered brow
while my left hand
holds back your attackers
by any means necessary.
Give me the strength to live for you
and the courage to die for you,
the joy to sing for you
and the hope to carry on.

Spirit of the Earth,
let me be your
voice in the wilderness
and when they try to tame us
my howl of defiance
will set us both free.
