Mother Earth Is Angry

I am not one to usually post poems that I haven't written, but this one stuck out to me, more so because of the current turbulent times we're in. Thought I'd share it with you all.

Mother Earth Is Angry

We take and take from her body never giving back
Poisoning her over and over, now she rebels
Changing her path she is responding to the attack
Listen to her now on the screaming winds as she wails

Shaking with rage as she opens her gutted bowels
Spewing forth hot molten rock and fire from deep within
And we do nothing except offer up denials
Listening to stupid men who think they can still win

Her instructions to live in harmony with all things
But greed has destroyed her lands, rivers, trees and seas
For decades we have ignored her plaintive rumblings
No longer do we respect her sacred memories

Her power is as amazing as her vengeful wrath
She wants to lead us back to her harmonious path
Listen to her or we won’t be here for the aftermath
Listen well for our Mother Earth is on the warpath

Natural Disasters will still occur regardless of whether or not we stop "poisoning" this planet.
