You show us mercy 

You show us unconditional love

I know it’s hard to understand why giving us everything isn’t enough

We would all want to thank you … but we’re so ungrateful

Some of us try to appreciate you but the rest can’t find the time 

Some of us make a real effort to help you but we all know that’s a lie

How could we ever repay you?

The love isn’t mutual and you’re in danger

We plunder you for your resources and exacerbate your life force and worst of all, we claim it’s the most efficient choice

We could feel your cry and collectively still choose to make no change about the obvious crimes

The dirty oceans, the lack of trees, the polluted air is a real tragedy

We sit around wasting time, watch Tv and laughing about memes

You still manage to keep us alive but you know and I know there isn’t much time 

We spray down your fruits, we poison your waters, we test your resilience and forget what truly matters 

It’s a lack of awareness and you don’t deserve this

I hope to enjoy you- before we destroy you 

It’s a slow and painful death, it’s taking place in subtle ways

We rake your leaves ignoring the fact that leaves are a natural fertilizer, Then have the audacity to sit around and ponder.

We wonder why soil is diminishing and won’t exist much longer 

We’re just humans. Humans doing and not being 

It’s painful to witness but we keep watching and I keep seeing 

Mother earth, this has become death-dealing.

You’re suffering in real time and civilization is playing on a field full of landmines.
