Theresa M. Cash Poet Blank verse

Great Spirit Mother Earth

There was a time our mother earth spoke
Great words of wisdom in ancient times
A time when children were one with the Great Spirit

The children lite their fires on this great land
at one time; life was lived in simplicity
I felt in my heart, hardships were to come

Whether it be bad, sad or good
With certainty; times were going to change
To this day my elders had said these wise words.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 22, 2020 at 8:40 AM As a society our memory is so tragically short. This reminds me of being a kid overhearing the adults poking fun at the people building homes next to the cottages. We are in a valley, the whole area is a flood plane- now all the whining to the government about why more isn't done to prevent it. Sigh. Great write! xomo Theresa M. Cash April 26, 2020 at 2:39 AM Thank you Maureen for your awesome comment. Sorry to hear that the whole area is like a flood plane- Sometimes I think that some of our politicians should do more for areas like that.
