Cracked open the earth
Dust to the sky
The land felt alone

Mother nature penned a pleading
Knowing what we've been needing
Her advice never heeded
Her love so misunderstood

She wants to love and she would but..

'How could you have done this to me?'



Her words printed in matter across canvas
Love was all she was..

But no matter mattered
So now she has lit the canvas ablaze
Her heart a maze now
She feels betrayed
Canvas ablaze...
I'm amazed the earth is not razed

We took all she was
Left her to rot alone inside

She turns her gaze to life on her surface
She is dying now below and above
Inside and out
Irreparably harmed by those she loved

For the last time she tried to care
A split second only..
The result of existing lonely..

That was when the earth cracked
She has now unleashed her pain

As fire rose from a betrayed heart
Ash blanketed a broken beauty..

Covered in the darkness of her mind
She is going to leave us behind
Fury of millennia
A world of blood and septicemia

Those on her surface prayed to God
They were heard and ignored
He agreed with her
Because we did this to him too..

The pit named Hell exists on earth now
It was us that did this to her..

Have we no shame?
Or is it ignorance?

Either way..

We got what we deserved

Because even humans among humans..
Can be as heartless as a demon..

And as a whole..
We are killing our home



Just like wild animals gone extinct
Our hearts sink as fading begins
In a battle of violence or hate
No one wins

We just drown in our sins..

We can turn it around..
But..

8.4 billion people..

Technology advances
Never maturity

Some call me crazy..

Time will tell
World is hectic nowadays. It made me wonder. Earth is an object. But what if it was actually alive?
Put myself in her shoes for a few minutes.. This poem is how I feel the world may see humanity
