Responsibility For Our Actions Synergy and Magic

Responsibility for our actions (Synergy and magic) By Michelle Morris 17/02/2023 We fight over land We fight over sea We fight over resources As we deplete them We claim sovereignty We draw lines and maps We think we are separate Because of our flags Yet, no one seems to realise That we own nothing on Earth We delude ourselves And destroy Nature's hearth Most of what we claim Never was ours to begin with All the sacrifice and discord Instead of synergy and magic Mother Earth needs our help She needs our love and resolve To heal her soil and her oceans To heal her essence and her heart We must save our flora and fauna Cleanse our air and our waters We are responsible for our actions We are responsible for the future When our bees die, our future is curtailed When our forests are gone, our lungs will gasp When our food is depleted, we will perish Unless we work together, we won't last We fight over land We fight over sea We fight with each other Over resources and means It somehow never cognitively registers That we are killing ourselves With every war and strife With all our pesticides and plastic waste We claim sovereignty We draw lines and maps But nowhere do we draw Responsibility for our actions © Michelle Morris, 2023
