CHILDREN OF THE EARTH - ARE WE ?

A long time ago
on a ball of blue,
when there was no me
and there was no you
mother earth was in her teens,
oh yes, she wore blue jeans...

A green top,
with floral print,
complete with a starry hat,
her resources, all intact


Then came her little ones..
ever so close,
so gentle, so sweet...
day and night they cared..
all her joys and sorrows, they shared...
they would play together,
never out of earshot of the beckoning of their mother.

A fire in the belly,
yet cool on the crust
her young children,did she ever once mistrust?
Little did she know,
that where once
the waters would dance and
the lands would bloom,
greed would succeed need
and cause her to fume..

Unaware and innocent, she cared with all her heart
she taught them how to work, and love impart...
Yet she sensed them drifting away. But ever once, did she say?
little did she know, there was a back stab on the way.

And soon enough
came we...
emotionless, careless,
and unkind enough to show it...
we took her sacrifice, and out of the nearest window,
threw it..

Yet she bore,with all patience and might,
well aware of her awaiting plight

Sure enough, there came the breach.
We broke her trust
and cracked her crust..
no matter if she dies,
but live, WE must!

Yet some of her children cared, she knew..
but alas, they were too few!

She cried and moaned for a while,
then wiped her tears,
but was still fragile

The fire in her belly was still there,
and that, she would have to renew...

Renew she WILL,
and know that, humans,
she wont sit still..

The time would come, and little would WE know,
 roles would reverse, and our joys would go...
these small, fleeting waves of luck would recede,
gather up in a tidal wave,
and revenge would succeed....

So dear humans, try not to go astray,
because now you know, that if you do,
the tidal wave is on its way....
