Mother Earth Is Dying

Nerd

Watching the world slowly decay

Mother earth she aching in pain

I never appreciated her enough.

She’s been my mother

Ever since I could remember

Her soul cannot be replaced

Filled with such peace

For the rare place that

Holds the first shades of color

She showers you with rain

Warm or cold. Just ask her

She’ll give you praise.

Where long grass

offers you a warm embrace

A pillow made from tree moss

You let me escape from

Such a hateful place

Poor mother, I’m sorry

On the behalf of the human race

Let my tears fill up

Your empty creeks

    I felt this deeply as nature has always been my escape but mother earth was here long before us and will be long after! We are But a speck here for observation for than interaction, in my opinion. ... thank you for such a beautiful write to free my mind even just for a little while.

  • soheil khodaparasti

    A deeply moving poem, filled with love, sorrow, and remorse for the way we have treated the earth. The image of tears filling her empty creeks is especially powerful. Beautifully written.

  • Fränz Müller

    We have poisoned our one and only home; what shall we do when she can no longer sustain us? Excellent work!

      I wouldn't worry to much about her. This race are just zits.

    • Paul Bell

      Where has all the water gone.
      Don't think mummy's happy with the humans.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Beautifully sorrowful, Nerd. There’s such tenderness in the way you experience the natural world as a mother who has continually offered comfort while receiving harm in return. The apology on behalf of humanity gives this such an aching sense of responsibility. Powerful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      I think you all for taking your time for reading my poem. This one hits home where I’m from we treat nature as something that gives us food and water and a place to stay. And please don’t be afraid to give me any polishing up with my poem. Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    • Mutley Ravishes

      Volcanoes and magma,
      Plates and earthquakes
      Tsunamis and oceans
      The children of the suns
      I think she'll be
      Okay!

      Great write, Nerd!
