Mother Earth

Mother Earth is upset,
And I know it too well.
She's dying slowly,
But no one seems to care.

I can hear Her screams,
Can feel Her agony.
I can feel the earth beneath my feet groan,
Shuddering in unease.

I want to save Her,
Wrap my arms around Her.
Hold Her close,
And protect Her.

These mortals are so cruel,
Abusing and using Her.
She wasn't meant for this,
And so I weep.

Mankind will be their downfall,
I've said it all along.
I want to warn them,
But I know they won't heed me.

So, I'll do my best,
Sing to my heart's content.
Keep weeping silently,
And trying to save them.

Just a poem I wrote about Mother Earth and how She's dying slowly and in so much agony, and hardly anyone cares. I've been wanting to write something like this for some time and I find it amusing that I could write it so easily in the morning, right before I head off to school. How lovely.
