MOTHER EARTH BLEEDING
Take one long, long look
She is bleeding
Toxic waste
Poisonous
Lethal
Deadly
Contaminated
Erosive
Erosion
A gradual breaking down of this planet
Called Mother Earth
LOOK AT HER
The mess
The trash
Burning all her natural resources
Pouring
Driving
Torrential
Down pouring
Emptying
The life out of Her!!!
Carbon monoxide
Killing her oxygen
The air that she you and I need to breath
An unseen poison
Invisible
Obscure
Masked
Obscured
By the blackness of the smoke
Rising, rising out into the atmosphere
THE WASTE
THE SPILLAGES
Wrecking the seas
Lakes
Streams
Rivers
THE WASTE
Of lives
Plants
Trees
All living beings
THE WASTE
THE WASTE
THE WASTE
How much longer will it take to break this Mother
Earth of ours?
How much longer have we here on our Mother Earth?
How much longer is it going to take to wake the world
up?
OPEN YOUR EYES
OPEN YOUR EYES
OPEN YOUR EYES
NOW
NOW
RIGHT NOW
Painting pretty pictures does not work
Won’t work
Trying to disguise her face
Her place
Masking over the cracks
The holes
Mother Earth is now raging
Fighting back
No more obscurity
No masking
Painting pretty pictures
