Poem -

our mother

save earth

our mother

it is too late to feel guilty 
when earth takes her last breath so will we
barely surviving 
she is already dying 
so many warning signs of what will be predicted 
by the damage of our actions we committed 
is it too late to start changing?
can we fix the last parts of this world remaining?
maybe not
the destruction is irreversible 
her illness is terminal
we held earth hostage in her own body 
she begged for help
how did we not hear her scream?
we were too focused on pursuing our own dreams
making life easier by inventing unnecessary machines 
our huge population 
killed her grounds creation

Hello Kiesha, 
this is a great poem of awareness towards our most treasured possession. Earth. I just loved this particular line 

“we held earth hostage in her own body”

Such stella wording here, that packs a punch, reminding us we have all contributed to the suffering. Even if it has been to allow it to continue 

Great piece, thanks for sharing 
Gwen :)
