Earth's Day is Everyday

Walton S. Tissot
`

Nature's swollen breast

~

Forrest and valley, Great yellow plain

Turn and implication, weather the rain

~

Went to the moon and thought about November

Found it strange we can't remember

~

Gate of Beltane, Primitive soul

Earthen bounty, all that we stole

~

Epithetical flora, beast and bird

Mother earth; the final word

~

Man's apathetic mastectomy

    Brilliant. One of the best poems I've read on AC. The last line is stunning.

    Terrific - I was just thinking today that it is said that for many earth day is one day or not even one they are aware of. When I see people throwing things on the ground I cringe. I do tell people who put out their cigarettes on the ground (I have seen a couple of people in my lifetime pick them up) that it takes 30 years (I forget exactly because the cigarette decomposes in different stages) for it to "go away."
