A Message From Mother Earth

Can you smell the smoke of the fires burning?

Or hear the sounds of your people yearning?

I hear their prayers, the same as before,

Begging for the sovereignty of promises you swore.

The steady beat of their drumming

And the sweet sound of humanity humming.

Broken by a sudden flash,

Of guns and cannons as they pass.

Have you learned nothing from events of the past?

I fear not, for you still hold the cast.

I breathe the breath of winter airs,

They stand there freezing, with deep stares.

The man-made snake is on its way,

To take my blood, for good they say.

You shaved the trees from my land,

In order to shake another’s hand.

Your heart, I see, is full of greed,

Clouding your judgment with its seed.

Consequences will soon be pending,

As you bleed my life, it’s near the ending.

I once provided for all your needs,

But what have you shown me by your deeds?

Self-centered righteousness and contempt,

Anger and violence, are messages sent.

For bigger and better is all you care,

Financial gains, concerns you bear.

The value of the masses, no longer matter;

When profits decide, communities shatter.

Few are left standing

On an unstable landing,

When those you’ve left to struggle and die,

See through the fog of your grandest lie.

I cannot support the quantities you take,

Soon my crust will begin to shake.

The empires you’ve so decisively built,

Are constructed on foundations, destines to tilt.

I send you the voices of the humble and weak,

They’re coming together, no longer so meek.

They see what you’re doing,

And are no longer stewing,

Heard will be the voices,

You have one of two choices,

Listen to their cries,

Before humanity dies.

Or an end to this world, I will soon bring;

Destruction to all like you’ve never seen.

Yours truly,

Mother Earth
