We take the time
to acknowledge you, Earth
Our Global being
Who gives us so much
Much, a word not befitting
O! Mother Planet
Supplying precious air
Thunderous are your seas
Lands of Ice, now Iced Teas
Trees, we promise thee
Peaking in your madness
Coughing up smog or your toke
Beaching, the pretty landfill trinkets
Forest aren't for Rain! Who are We?
Overconsumption, Us the overly
Why, were we invited?
To your birthday party
All year long we don't care
Raging, your storms of anger
Rumbling, volcanoes of threat
Seething World, of dirty air
Un-plenty, for those who need drink
Festivities of quandary's, brink?
Upsetting, Mom or Mother Earth
Troubled beast, depart the forestry
Unhappily, extreme Unnaturally
Or, Abnormal is it now the Normally?
Sorry, for were such a pooper
Why its Your Day! Earth
So Have a Happy One
Never mind, these un-thoughtful words.
