Today I decided to share a poem with you which I wrote about an issue which deserves attention. We as humans need to realize the importance of our actions, and more so the consequences of our actions, on nature.
Mother
As she lies there crouched upon a flaming
desert,
No end doth her eyes assert.
A battered soul and a crumpled heart for
company;
A tormented being and a shattered life
for comradry.
Her eyes speak a thousand words,
Pouring forth eons of reserve.
Pain encompasses her at every turn,
Everyone screaming for her to burn.
The soft silk of the Earth - upturned.
The soothing shimmer of the ocean -
burned.
The crisp current of the air - tainted.
The ferocious fire of humanity -
depleted.
Can you hear her lamenting?
Mother Nature is grieving.
Grieving for her Earth, grieving for her
children.
Grieving because of their birth, grieving
because of their insolence.
