Moss Filled Goodbye
Moss covered land
Dreams the raven
Once owned by humans
Then destroyed by them
They took for granted
What was once beautiful, caring and understanding.
They let greed overrule kindness
And killed all that was good.
They polluted the oxygen
They use to breathe
The pollution in their water
Got millions ill
And killed off many species
Who relied for centuries on the ocean as their home.
Leading to their own demise
And leaving their mess behind
Leaving their destructive paths
For me the raven to now live
Abandoned and alone
With only a memory of once was
My mother.
