WAKE UP (An Original Poem)

in #story8 years ago (edited)

Mother Earth sobs,
under the weight
of our vanity
she struggles
to feed her children

the frigid winds
blow the whimpers
of her pain,
ever-scattered

but the almighty dollar
deafens her cries
as our minds
are further dulled
by the distraction
of this race going nowhere.

Very creative way of telling the story of the earth.

She is alive and in pain for the wickedness that covers her skin.

That would be an awesome line in the poem!

Beautiful

Earth is truly beautiful just like this poem and we must protect it!

One salty tear in an ocean of plastic debris.

And Fukushima radiation.
