She breathes
She sighs
She realizes
we no longer care
She cries
She cares
But with her eyes she sees
her children wear
Deceiptful
masks
Of different gods who kill what
she creates
We grew
on her
She gave us birth - her love
never abates
She's wise
Her eyes
Are misty now because despite
Our birth
We'll die
With her
If we don't choose to love our
Mother Earth

She bleeds, she cracks, she struggles.....so true!
Great poem!
If you are in a quiet place and listen closely, you can hear Her heart beat.
Gorgeous!
Theresa, is this the same poem posted twice? I just commented on what I think was the same strong poem. Deja vu... I guess it bears repeating! =D
The Mother will expel the afterbirth soon enough - and then Mother and child will be together, untrammeled, again...
