Ode to Our Mother

We live with you

Eat you

Beat you

And you always care

Our ignorance hurts you

But you are still strong

You are old and wise

But we fail to take your advice

You have seen the ends of worlds

And you see our demise

You punish us

With your sickness that doesn?t hurt you

With your weather storms, of you

When you urn for food

You shake us, we listen

You seem larger then life

But you did start it

Your seemingly infinite supplies

of land

of water

of food

But you are just one

One of billions

Can you speak to them?

Do you also have family?

You are our life line

But you too are also powerless

Mother earth?

We all do love you still

Even though we may not say it.
