I
                                               
                    AM             MOTHER                             EARTH              
                Not                                                                    Flat                       
             but                                                                        round
         SACRED                                                                   GROUND
       My                                                                          temperature
     IS Rising                                                                   My resources
    are                   agonizing                                       Heirloom     seed
   replaced with                                            poisonous                   feed 
  my bees are in need                                            brothers and sisters                          
  Take my heed          I am the               Goddess             that Nourishes              
  you   with oceans blue                                           green grasses wide    
  mountains        that prominently divide                                 Black Soil                                          
  that you toil                                                                      Treat me well                                              
   don’t let     me spoil                                                 you need me dear                        
     for I am ROYAL                                    Visit my                        parks                               
      recycle for me                                                     pickup your trash 
        turn in to cash                                                          plant a tree
          on Arbor Day                                            Compost if you Can
             Volunteer on       Earth Day          to make a small Amend
                use your vote                    and             boycott skill
                     for each contribution     provides it’s own thrill 
                         Conserve my Water                  if you will

Like you I am an activist and as a kid I declared war against its offenders. My hands are joined in yours.

This poem is sweet! Happy you are so happy with it! That's more important than my opinion (that it's superb)...I agree with your words and appreciate them as well.

Marvelous creation! Poetry sings a true message. My ancestors- the Native Americans, DID NOT LASTING HARM TO THIS NATION IN OVER 10,000 YEARS HERE. Yet white man has done so much in less than 400 years. Super 7 on this gem!

Not offhand but it sure would be a great one methinks! Google green energy companies and pitch it to them.
