There once was a maid for hire

She wasn't used to human desire

You took advantage of her job

She didn't even notice you rob

Her of her very self and home

Which she kindly let you roam

How cruel and evil could you be

To forget that she was really free

How could you forget she could feel

You didn't ever have to steal

From a little maid full of mirth

Also known as Mother Earth

To enter you didn't have to knock

Not even when she was off the clock

Her water, which was crystal clear

Was used up without fear

And in return you filled her up

With pollutants, as though a cup

You took what was her's as your own

It was given freely not as a loan

You killed her garden and her flowers

To build your own houses and towers

The taking and taking didn't stop

Not even to let a pin drop

Eventually she had nothing left

It was a thief's greatest theft
