Life's Unanswered Riddle

Here is a riddle:

 

I am green and blue, hot and cold

I am mother of all living things, even mold

I love you, and you love me

Without me, you would die

 

Without my big great fields and icy mountains

Without my hot deserts with mosquitos that bite your fins

Without my rain forests that house endangered species

Without my poison berries that give you horrible feces

Admit it, you wouldn't want to live without me

 

So why, I ask, do you do everything you can

You use your fancy catamarans

That to keep well kept, kills me

Why do you cut down my trees, and leave me bald

Why do you pollute my air with your cars that have already mauled

My beautiful deer, bears, and goats

 

Without me you wouldn't be alive, you wouldn't be breathing

The way you act leaves me seething

But I am helpless against your tyrannical ways

Because I love you, and beg for you to raise

Raise awareness, and care, love and compassion

For your mother, your mother of all things

 

You know who I am

What I am

And who you are

So please, when you **** me, you **** yourself
