Dead

Our mother,
Earth
Is suffering.
Bleeding.
Dying.
Dead.

Her once strong arms
Are withered branches.
Her inner light
Fading.
Rotting.
Dead.

We took too much,
And now it's gone,
We are left alone.
Helpless.
Trying.
Dead.

We choose Greed
Over Love,
But now our wealth is gone.
Shriveled.
Worthless.
Dead.

Our path was wrong
But easy
Our choices greedy.
Hated.
Hurtful.
Dead.

We were "better".
We had power.
But now the power's gone.
Killed.
Murdered.
Dead.

We don't have a mother now,
She left us long ago.
We made her leave.
Burning.
Hating.
Dead.

Her poor, shrunken leaves
Are under
Our feet.
Crunching.
Crying.
Dead.

We chose material
Instead
Of Love.
Suffering.
Greed.
Dead.

She gave up,
And so did we.
We quit.
Failing.
Drowning.
Dead.

There is nothing real.
Her Love
Is gone.
Forgotten.
Lost.
Dead.

We killed
Our Mother
Earth.
Wounded.
Tortured.
Killed.

Our Mother.
Earth.
Was suffering.
Bleeding.
Dying.
Dead.
