Dear, Earth.



Dear Earth, Thank you for being our home.
Thank you for every ounce of freedom and our ability to roam.
I thank the earth for giving birth to us.
But we abuse and diminish it’s worth.
Why do we abuse Mother Nature,
For all she has given is nurture.
Why do we trash this world every piece of trash; torture.
We were born of this world and our souls are intertwined.
Maybe this is a reflection of us.
Humankind, has lost its peace of mind.
We’ve created a mirror just look at what we’ve designed.
Society, the product of our anxiety.
