I am Earth

I am Earth
I am your home
That you destroy
Each blade of grass, anchored to the soil by roots
Each honey bee, brown and banned black
Each stick and stone, that will break bones
Many call home
I am Earth
I am your home
That you destroy
Each cup of soil, nurturing trees
Each skin and bone, lanky, skinny, different
Each corner is unknown, unrecognised waiting to be found
Many call home
