Dear Gaia

What was all of this for? The chopped trees and trash on the weeping shore, All these beautiful fields, Now filled with the bones of the killed, Earths bloodline sucked dry by our own mechanical drills, Dolphins swimming free, Drifting from sea to sea, Captured brutally with a net to be killed mercilessly, Expiring animal homes, Destined to die in roam, Extinction in mass is it to late to ask for forgiveness and to atone, Population grows, Urbanization roads, Concrete labyrinth rows and fathom shows theres nothing left to sow, Seasons to kill all things, As if life has only bitter means, Bringer of death until theres nothing left but contaminated streams, Lovely sky painted blue, White clouds the wind pursues, Mother gaia so true please forgive your children for we know not what we do, Thinking as I walk alone on the bay, Water reflecting the moon and stars, A colder world day by day, Im pretty sure we are lost by going this far, Insane is all we can say, Pointing fingers at who to blame, Natures dying screams with tears of rain in a dark world not fit to change. (2017)

Corwin, your poetry is filled with so many gems like ' weeping shore' and 'White clouds the wind pursues'... the imagery is beautiful and sensitive. A beautiful way to address an ugly situation regarding humans and Nature. I very much enjoyed! :)
