We, as humans,
Our lives cry; we kill,
and hate each other.
__
Our tribal ways are lost.
We forgot where we came from.
following our modern ways
__
Going back is not easy.
Our mother earth is in tears.
just because of us.
__
The earth goes through
deforestation
because of us, humans.
__
Each and every time
We pollute our Mother Earth.
We don't respect her.
__
We put her in danger.
through burning and cutting its trees
Why don't we save her?
__
Animals and insects
become homeless
just because of us.
__
Let us keep the wild forest active.
Let our mother earth remain green.
Her nature will favor us.

Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.

I love this poem! We should encourage reforestation. Imagine engaging 1000 000 people to plant a tree in a day, that's already 1million trees planted!
I love this poem. It's so true and real of our time. We really need to do something about the way we treat Mother Nature. Thank you for writing this.
Yeah immediately we need a plan to overcome this global issue but not sure about such a massive thing!
We humans should go extinct. That's the only way to save Mother Nature, lol. Loved your poem!
