In the beginning 

You gave perfect,  unconditional love 

As any mother does 

To her children. 

In nurture and nature 

You provided a beautiful home 

For them..... 

And their familes 

To grow in love and peace and harmony. 

As time has proved 

Your children have grown greedy

And have forgotten

How to take care of you.  

In the beginning 

They took only that which was needed. 

Now they thirst and hunger 

With insatiable appetite. 

Time has come when you realise 

Your children need lessons in how to live. 

They have damaged and defaced you 

With no thought of consequence. 

Dear Mother Earth 

I see you bleed

And I weep with sorrow

As you watch your precious Children

Self Destruct!
