    Mother Earth


    Mother Earth





    Would you burn the furniture in your home?
    Would you rip the paintings from all your walls?
    Would you destroy all your most valuable possessions?
    Can I write some graffiti in your halls?

    Do you mind if I come and empty your cabinets
    Your food and water I’ll take all away
    If I did to you as we all do to the earth
    Than what do think you would say

    Earth’s been around for a billion years
    Growing and evolving each and every day
    Man’s been here for what seems like seconds
    And we’re ripping her life away

    There is no doubt we’re on the way
    Extinction the path we’re all taking
    Nobody cares about their mother earth
    If she had a heart I know it would be breaking

    Keep cutting the trees who needs to recycle
    Global warming oh that’s just a theory
    Have we all gone crazy let’s open our eyes
    Because the future really looks scary

    They’re too many people we’re weighing her down
    She’s taking her final breathe
    And when she’s gone we won’t have to worry
    To all of us it means our death

    So do as you please it doesn’t really matter
    We have already gone too far
    We’re responsible for killing a planet
    Maybe next we can shoot for the stars

    I never rate without commenting... Saying that, I feel this could have been a bit more poignant and needs more depth. The message you convey is great, but it sounds like something an environmentally aware high school student might write. It needs more oomph.More power in words.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
