Saving Mother

Kaylue Lee 2001 (California)

Free verse
Delicately collect the daisies
fill the oceans basin
grant the sun a breath
let free all the creatures in cages
plant the seeds so trees roots grow deep
cease all harmful productions
to preserve the life of this earth
and all the living species on it
or else be fated to a wasteland
a world full of decay and death
where no beauty exists.

About this poem

It is a poem about the fragility of the earth. Of the importance of the world and every living being on it, from plant to person. What humans continue to do to harm planet earth and Mother Nature, and what may become if it continues.
