Do we know that if we do not protect the earth, we shall perish from its face.

MOTHER EARTH TALKS TO MANKIND

I AM MOTHER EARTH
I AM YOUR NATURAL HABITAT
I AM A GIFT FROM GOD
I AM A WONDERFUL CREATION

HEY MAN, IN HEAVEN YOU HAD BEEN SO UNCAREFUL
THE BREATH OF A FARTING DEVIL TOUCHED YOU IN THE HEART
IN UTTER M DISAPPOINTMENT YOU WERE SOON DISCHARGED
“GET DOWN” GOD ORDERED YOU
YOU WERE SENT OFF TO A PLACE YOU NEVER SAW BEFORE
YOU HARVESTED SORROW, REAPED DISCORD

OF ALL THE PLANETS, ONLY ME OFFERED YOU A PLACE
I STRETCHED MY HANDS OUT TO WELCOME YOU
KISS YOU, HUG YOU, CARRY YOU IN MY CHEST
IN GOD’S WITNESS WE SIGNED A PROTOCOL
I TO GIVE COMFORT.YOU TO GIVE PROTECTION
BUT THE RECEPROCATE HAS NEVER BEEN FAIR

AGAINST ME YOU WAGED A WAR
AXES, MACHETES, PANGAS
WEAPONS OF STONE AGE
WEAPONS OF MODERN AGE
ALL DRAWN UPON ME
WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG, MAN?

REMORSELESS SO YOU ARE
YOU SUCKED AWAY MY NUTRIENTS
YOU NEVER REPLENISHED. DID YOU?
LIKE A BABY ON HIS MOTHER’S LAP
YOU ONLY THINK OF YOUR FILL
YOUR NAME IS TODAY
YOU DON’T SMELL TOMORROW
I AM STAGGERING. I AM STUMBLING.
I AM IN TEARS. I AM AGED. I HAVE WRINKLES
I AM FAINTING OUT OF DEPLETION
I AM ON MY DEATH BED

I WEEP. I WAIL
I CRY OUT FOR HELP
YOU COME NOT TO MY RESCUE
YOU IGNORE MY SQUALL
YOU SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS
AND OFF YOU MELT AWAY.

YOU TALK TO NATURE, DON’T YOU?
YOU TALKED TO WATER
YOU PROMISED NOT TO POLUTE
YOU TALKED TO TREES
YOU PROMISED NOT TO DESTROY
YOU TALKED TO MOUNTAINS
YOU PROMISED NOT TO MOVE THEM
THEN WHY RAPE THE FOREST?
WHY MOLEST THE SEAS?
WHY ABUSE THE ATMOSPHERE?
YOU MADE THE LAND BARREN
YOU STRIPPED ME NAKED
I AM THE SHADOW OF MY FORMER SOUL
HEY MAN, YOU BROKE THE RULES
YOU BARELY HAVE SANITY

I AM BURNING WITHOUT BEING ON FIRE
TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE RISE
SEASONS ARE MORE ERRATIC
SEAS ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE
THE HOPE-GIVING SKIES ARE NO MORE IN PLACE

I AM LIKE A HOUSE WITH A DAMAGED ROOF
POISONED ARROWS ARE SHOOTING IN
I AM EXPOSED. I AM VULNERABLE
DANGER IS IN THE OFFING
I AM A VICTIM OF YOUR GREED
YOU ARE A REAL MONSTER. AREN’T YOU?

I have written many similar things, but unfortunately, nobody really wants to read them, or so it appears. Did you read my poem Priorities? I am rather distressed at America's priorities in this day and age. It seems that no one really to save lives, they just keep on destroying them.

Powerfully penned, Abdi-Noor, and I agree with you 100 percent. I posted similar sentiments a few weeks ago in a poem called
'A Mother Weeps.' I wonder if mankind will ever learn?
