Believe this is a rhyme poem/

The Water lives and rushes through

 Mighty water flows as the earth breaks into pieces
 
 earth’s rocks and trees surge as this asphalt land tears and releases

 There is a sound of the earth moaning as she is torn apart with
 
 winds and rains wrapped in her mouthy white foam  

 this new creature a living cyclone breaks apart the wood and clay
 
 dikes and dams roar as she creates her wild storms
 
 I wonder how often this has happened due to the  hand of man

 Is it Mother Earth sending her forces to destroy the greed and 

 neglect  used for mankinds larger wealth and castle homes

 was this once called Noahs flood, eons ago as an ark that roamed

 through the roaring waters keeping her planet creatures living 

 now as then in her belly she fights for life and  groans 
 
 crushing the living soils, rocks, human and animal bones

 giving it back to the Mother to feed her earth as she intends

 taking back her resources to begin it all again.
