Cry of the Earth
By Mia B

Hear my screams, as you please
Hear my cries as you gain,
You increase in money, not wealth
But pain. You’re not just hurting me
But the living things within me.
You’re ruining me, you’re dest-
roying me for a few bucks, yet you’re not
Increasing in wealth, you're increasing in
More pain as the natural abundance of me is
Being killed for your prosperity.
See my tears as the ice melts,
Feel my pain as the earth falls.
You must stop this now otherwise,
Future generations, species of animals,
Plants my children we die due
To your selfish acts as man. As you
Commit these acts you’re losing the only thing
That will genuinely benefit you. This earth isn’t
reliant on you, but you are reliant on us.
