The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Earth Mother

I swam in your ocean
Flew in your skies
Mother Earth so 
Nurturing and wise
Now you fight back
With perilous fury
Waves and storms
The bodies we bury
Tsunamis and earthquakes 
Sandstorms and snow
We have poisoned you
Chemicals in tow
I hope you forgive
Our ignorant ways
Man has deserted you
Mother Earth nights and days
