Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Listen to the beating heart of our world
Feel as she stretches and changes
Her breath as it blows through your hair
We have abused her
Taken everything she has to offer
Hurt her in ways that she never deserved
Even though we are mere parasites
Germs infecting her skin
Still, she holds us and cherishes us
As any mother would her children
However, until now we haven’t cared
She gave and gave without asking for anything
She does not need us to save her
Despite it all, she is strong
After the scars we inflicted have faded
The wounds have all healed
Our mother will heal herself
She will bring back the life she once had
She will forgive us
This time
