the earth is bleeding

**rust and ichor

 

veins are lacerations

and ruptured

seams

 

no idyllic countryside

sinkholes and lava

from the skin

to the bone marrow

from the ribcage

to the deepest

HEART

 

 

the earth is bleeding

edged with scarlet

a septic wound

 

her nature spasming with

her groaning

whales die from their

weeping

sea life washed ashore

in their hundreds

of thouands

birds fall from the sky

white doves become

black as ravens

oily and ravenous

mass extinction

honey bees

will be

no

more

to

pollinate

anything

 

the earth is bleeding

war's bitter wine

seeps from every pore

of mankind

 

hatred the cup of

the world

the grail to be drunk

deeply

til tomorrow is

sated and

there is no longer

any blood

to

be

 

spilled**

Notes

I've been off site

A friend does research on the

animal die offs and the other

plights of our planet

Only my faith in the Lord

keeps me from being extremely depressed

The fact is that we will never be able

to heal what we have done to

this planet. Wars are escalating.

Is there anything that can be done?

Well. I have a suggestion.

PRAY.
