Dear Earth Mother,
Please speak to my brothers and sisters
my family but not of like DNA
kin born of other misses and misters
particles in motion of shared energy
Advise them and guide them
a nudging, subtle insight, awake dreaming
admirably composed lest the alternate, screaming
set our household straight
with glimpses of humanity's fate
return all hearts to green
before it's too late
Please, Earth Mother
convince your children
to halt the impromptu arm throws
of trash thrown onto the ground
cans, bags, bottles, cigarette butts
mucking up the landscape
careless, selfish, unfair thoughts
whichever way the wind blows
Please, Mother, please
make a splash sending waves
to all our relatives
no more polluting our waters
plastic, styrofoam, netting, chemicals
it's sink or swim time, progenies
but aren't the seabirds, the whales
the turtles and fish our family, too?
blind eyes turned to our animal
sons and daughters
Dear Earth Mother,
Please align all heirs and assigns
so we vibrate on the same frequency
fossils fuels, landfill waste, factory exhaust
make amends, implement change
planet to human balance; decency
Dear Earth Mother,
hear my cries as I hear yours
sympathetic molecular connection
converse, please, with all folk
young, old, the unborn of placental protection
spread your wisdom, make all aware
so a thousand years from now
our descendants will still be here
Thank you, Earth Mother
Your empathetic child
