Ancient Cry Of A Mother

Her sides are quickly melting

She is losing her figure

She has become beyond recognition

A Shadow of her former self

A hollow emptiness now resides in her bosom. 

Her green luscious hair of leaves, trees, and sweet vegetation withered into mere sheaves of straw for cattle to feed on.

The air, Oh ! that life giving oxygen now laced with toxicity and deadly radiation.

Mother nature wails in pain

Longing for the joy that existed from long ago

Just nothing more than a distant memory almost lost, and forgotten.

It's been told that the mouth that was fed bit the finger that fed it.

The earth weeps in turmoil

Water overflows its bounds

Carrying and wrecking havoc in its path. 

Our very home has become a jungle a berserk alien wilderness.

Earth moulded to be our abode

A shield and safe place

Now, a distant hazardous, perilous island.

Many now seek a way out of the chaotic world

Looking to the stars for a new start.

Maybe another home up in the clouds.

Mother nature weeps in pain

Her own very creation fed on her

Malevolently wrecked her core and left her for dead alone and forsaken in her demise.

O! Ye creation with no conscience

Race of cruelty

Offspring of malignant descent

The greed that permeates even the innocent and unborn.

Sporing seeds of egoistic instigation in every mind.

Soils have become barren

The oceans sedated with poison and venom scourged with the stink of death

Sea life lies afloat away from it's realm

Why stir them in their humble abode?

This earth was meant not for mankind only

Mankind is intent of self destructing itself

It has shielded it's auditory senses from the cries of Gaia

She weeps in pain

It's never too late

she musters

To make the earth a home once more.
