Mother nature's cries

 Mother nature’s cries are deaf  

To her children while ripping the skin of our beloved mother 

For what?  

To pave stabbing roads  

And buildings on her burning flesh  

Her children pour oil over her and laugh while she chokes on gasoline 

Abused and beaten by once-loved children, now thorns to her dying heart 

The rain we cherish is mother's tears flooding our homes  

Yet we still harm her and by ignoring her, we are harming ourselves 

The once vibrant green hair she owned was ripped off and used for boats, houses and so much more 

There are children who fight for her freedom,  

For her health 

But are no match for fists of fossils fuels 

Her throat burns and blazes from her screams of pain, the ice that could have cooled her, melts with every breath she takes towards hope 

Mother nature’s dying, yet her children ignore her calls for mercy
