Mother Earth What Are We Doing to You?

My Beautiful Mother Earth, What Have We Done? by Debi Anderson

DEBI ANDERSON
I mourn for my Mother Earth., I pray that my Father in the Heavens will intervene and heal her sacred womb. She is hemorrhaging in the Gulf of Mexico. What have we done? Why have we allowed mankind to destroy a woman so beautiful? Our desire for oil, fancy cars, high powered jets, the luxurious lifestyle has left our Mother barren.

It has taken away her vitamins, her ability to produce, her energy, and now possibly her life. As Mother Earth continues to be hurt by mankind; what we don't realize is that our activities will reduce the amount of resources available for us. Father GOD and Mother Earth are here for US, to protect US, to care for US, and to love US. Yet time and time again look what we are doing to them. Look how unappreciative of them we truly are.

We cut down trees, yet we don't want to plant a replacement. We destroy woodlands, we destroy recreational parks and lakes and build resorts and condominiums. We litter, throwing our garbage at our mother, not caring that we are dirtying her beautiful body. Don't you see her cry, as the floods rise? Don't you see her tremble, as the earth shakes? Don't you see her stress as her insides erupt into volcanoes?

A beautiful, colorful mother Earth unlike anything else in the world. So beautiful, yet so overlooked and unappreciated..

At the same time growth in human population increases demand for resources. This is putting a huge strain on Mother Earth. There may be no limit to the damage we can do our planet, but there is also no limit to the good we can do for our planet. As far as I'm concerned, the Earth is only wounded. It's up to us to heal her wounds, and shield her from further hurt.
