Soil is life
“The future may see the exhaust of mines dug deep into Earth’s core. But, the soil has to keep producing food for the ever growing Earth’s population.”
- quote by A.A.Jarilov, Soil-Scientist
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supporting life on Earth
Nourishing life of all kinds
She breathes green
She has life cycle
She is a living being
With a definite genesis
She evolves differently
Adapting to changing climate
Redesigns herself for organisms
She balances life cycle
Just as in Land & Atmosphere
She has minerals, matter,
Salts and water, gases and
Moisture like in air, but
It varies in concentration
She needs rain
She needs wells, rivers, seas & oceans
She needs air
She breathes
She needs clean air to breathe
She needs energy,
Energy from the Sun & Moon rays
Filtered through plants feet
Unfiltered by cement,
Tiles, or beautiful tar carpets
She is not Sand, Silt and Clay,
Her health is seen through
Munsell’s Chroma, Value & Hue
None but only the Human footprints
Has smudged her precious Shade
Earth is not an industry
Soil is not a factory
Soil provides to live,
Soil is Life
Without soil - Earth is death happy
