“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.”
~Cree Indian Proverb
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as I hear the drills of fracking destroying your gift of water deep within
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as the coal puts forth more pollutants in the air so thin
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as we destroy the soil with our cancer-ridden compost
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as the grain you have given to us is tampered with and Monsanto is our guidepost
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as we litter our beaches with our castoffs
I weep with you, Mother Earth, that we seem to enjoy pollution as our handoff
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as our oceans are littered with garbage and filth, oil spills and toxins
I weep with you, Mother Earth, as we do not take seriously our actions
I weep with you, Mother Earth as the coral disappears beneath the sea
I weep with you, Mother Earth, and hope we soon come to see your frantic plea
