The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Mother Earth

In the widely spread universe 
Only the Earth is alive
And it has blessed you with life
And so many more, some you see
While some you even won’t believe 

Yes, at start things for fine--- for Her and for you, 
But then You started taking her for granted 
For you, it was just an act of being alive
But she has lost her health and  beauty 
Because of the crummy things you sufficed 

Look around, look close
What do you see
Poor Earth is crying 
It was a heaven, once
Now it has become a hell
For her and for us all

And why should she not? 
You see.... 
Streets are befouled 
Waters are sullied
Forests are annihilated
Mountains are flattened

Listen to her cries... Look at her
You make her inhales hazardous substances 
You make her drink poisonous liquids 
And she is forced to eat plastic and lousy garbage 

Ah Garbage, Garbage everywhere
On the roads, in the streets, in rivers, in woods,
In mountains, in water and on every end

You are killing her
You are suffocating her 
You spoiled her sanctity 
You snatched her beauty from her

Ahh mother Earth
We know are scum
You could have been really happy without us
But we have no other home to go
Forgive us
Don’t let us die a painful death
We will help you rise again... 
You must breath freely again

An environmentalist every which way in each direction, I admired this missive." You never listen cries of the mother Earth And You make her inhales hazardous substance You make her drink poisonous liquids And eat plastic and lousy garbage " - exactly!
