This Is Earthjust Us

This is Us, my waist too big, his check too small, she's not the fairest of Them all, We must confess, This is Ugly, we are a mess, the Earth's ungrounded greatest pest, But, This is Us, our only home to share it well before its gone, extracted refracted denuded and fracted, deluded and impacted, polluted and red Raped... ... Sacred health neglected and wealth abused, THIS IS US! We're all we have and are, All we remember and imagine, reimagine our compassion for Earth's great final passion; This is Us Filled with puss, make it or bust, some say "dust from dust," our parts too often rust, we smell of patriarchal musky must, need everything right now or bust, This is Us... ... Not unlovely Them; what will we do when established trump doesn't rule our wild and free imaginations of how I can be, live true to my own flawed beauty, re-connecting re-ligioning re-membering through all our neglected wild cards, This EarthTribe is Us We've each made god in our best imagination of how united nations remember recreations of great and wealthy destinations from home regeneration for health to safely hold future generations singing this our great examination of how we are in this Great Green Transitionalization, This is Us When we most brilliantly choose to see This Us is Earth regiving birth forgiving death, our wide democratic and deeply existential mess, This is Us.
