LETTER FROM EARTH

My dearest humans

E’er since I remember

You’ve been welcomed with

Open arms to my house

Knowing you’re my guests

I shower you with all I have

Air to breathe, water to drink

Grains, fruits, gardens n valleys

Its all thrown open to you

So you can grow n evolve

Adding to my abundant house

Your love, togetherness n joy

Alas, today I’m pained

Far from having gratitude

You take it all for granted

Don’t even seem to value it

What is your arrogance?

You use all my vegetation

Cutting away my trees

Destroying the mountains

You even drain away

My abundant water bodies

And keep digging away

My minerals and ores

You continue dumping

Your trash all over me

I but fail to understand

How far you’ll take this

You’re creating boundaries

Conveniently in the name of

Religion, Nation, Gender

Status, skin color e’en

How have you forgotten

You're but a guest here

Whose permission you took

To disintegrate me 

Calling me mother earth

Is this what people do

To their very own mother

Who provides ‘em selflessly

D’you ever ponder

How I must be feeling

Shorn of all my treasures

Parched to the core

My foundation when shaken

But causes earthquakes

N natural calamities

You've no control over

I feel so shattered

Being a silent spectator

To all the destruction

That but ensues

How do I teach you

To simply learn to co-exist

Can you take care of me too

So I continue providing you

We only have a presence

Because of each other

None of us is independent

We’re all but interdependent

YOU AND ME TOGETHER

WE ARE THE EARTH
