Mother's Angry

August, it's late in the month,it's been many years but a quiver is felt in the earth, in southern Colorado. Some folks slept right through it, others felt it and realized what was happening, An Earthquake. Was this meant to be? Maybe....Mother's Angry The very next day, in the part of our Country, where our Country began. Mid morning and again the earth began to quiver, then shake. Buildings were evacuated, The Capital... Evacuated, bricks loosened and felled, Why ? Maybe... Mother's Angry The following week, calm was interrupted by darkness, hail, lightening, tidal surges, flooding, devastation and death. New York as well as New England as a whole felt the wrath of a storm named Irene, 43 dead...Why? Maybe...Mother's Angry The day after Irene, was the anniversary of yet another storm, where the sky grew dark, hail, floods and people died, Her name was Katrina. The Northern Gulf States felt her wrath. Why? Maybe... Mother was Angry Throughout the history of Mankind, we have done with this Planet as we will. We dug and drilled into her womb for her resources, we have deforested, not only for lumber for space but mostly for necessity, which turned to GREED. As any other living thing, it takes and takes and takes being abused for just so long, and then It Gets Angry! Guess What ! Mother's Angry !
