We belong to the earth
She does not belong to us
Feel your breath
Wonder at your mind’s eye view
Your inner canyons
Your oceans and tide's
Your inner landscapes and outer worlds
The bluest skies
The oceans swells
The darkest storms
Windswept sand dunes
Dusk and Dawn as they renew
The first ras of sun in the cool dawn's light
Breathtaking colour of the setting night
The hoot of an owl
The screech of a hawk
The sounds of a chorus as it breathes at dawn
An awakening of rosebuds
The kiss of a butterfly
The first morning dew
All of this and more
Are the natural wonders surrounding us all
When we breathe with our heart
See with unclouded eyes
Let go of judgements and self internal lies
We know without doubt
The earth does not belong to us in any way shape or form
We belong to the earth
It is here we are born
We are the caretakers of this great blue and green land
And to the land, we shall return at the end of our stand
So treat her well this mother of ours
Nourish her as she nourishes us
For she is the only home we have
She is here and now
She is wise and wild
She is this beautiful earth where we live and reside.

Hell yes, Earth doesn't belong to us. Many power-hungry humans forget.
