Strip you of your resources,
Growing exponentially with time,
Only to be left as our scars to nature
Mother Tree why do we treat you so Poorly.
Is Humanity here to show the end
To the objects that give us life.
From Oxygen producing plants
To the water that sustains our life
Is it our job to destroy the Mother
Who has nurtured us since we suckled
As a virus on this beautiful planet
Depriving Gaea of her own necessities
No Human wisdom can lead my answer
So tell me please.
An answer to one true question worth asking..
"Are we only existing to destroy you,
Or shall we live WITH Earth rather than ON?"

This poem has been floating around notebooks around my room for years, It appears I found the time to finally line it out in a way I saw fit.
