One Tear Drop

We are her children
Of more than seven billion.
Some are villains,
Others have brilliance.
She is our mother and yet we hurt her,
Gun shots, global warming, bombs but all,
The pain only causes one tear drop,
For how cruel her children have been.
She is the sky and the sea,
She is the animals and the plants,
She is the mother of Earth,
She is Mother Earth!
Mother Earth, so beautiful is she,
Growing green grass,
Surrounded by sapphire seas.
All the colours to make us happy,
Yet we hurt her.
O Mother Earth, what have we done?
