Analysis of Mother Earth.



Do You know you are a visitor here in the World?
Do you Know that the Earth is your Mother?
Do you treat Her with Love or Regard or Respect
Or is that too much of a bother?

Do You Know that the Earth Provides all that You need
Asking Nothing But Care in return
Have you thought about that any time in your Life
Or is it something You still have to learn?

Mother Earth Is ALIVE just as you are here now
And Her Giving is Kindly and Good
Therefore All in the World would do well to REFLECT
And Treat Mother Earth as they should.

When the Land is left SCARRED in pursuit of her Gold
or her Oil or her Coal or her Gas
Is the Damage Repaired or just left as a mark
That Humanity hasn't the class.
To ensure that their taking and  using and making
all manner of things from Her bones
Is carried out with regard to her Health
Thereby ensuring the future of souls.
