Humans need to stop abusing Mother Earth

The Biggest Love

by Suzanne Albers

I LOVE YOU
Mother Earth
So fair
Your beauty is
Beyond compare

Your treasures bless us
Everywhere
I'm sorry humans
Just don't care
Most of mankind
Unaware

From space you are
A bright blue jewel
Dancing with the sun

A closer look reveals
The truth
The damage that's
Been done

Your homeostasis
Upside down
The evidence is
All around

The melting glaciers
Are your tears
The coral reefs
Your eyes

What used to be
So beautiful...
It's destruction
Makes me cry

The poisoned rivers
Are your veins
That flow into your seas

The oceans are
Your beating heart
That now begins
To bleed
Your tears are overflowing
Causing shorelines
To recede

Rainforest are
Your lungs
But you can
Barely breathe

Deforestation shows
Its scars upon
Your tattered skin

In this year of 2020
Could we be
Near the end?

Greed and ignorance
Frame the face
Of what we call
The human race

But nothing else
Can take your place
You big bright ball
Spinning In space

Countless species
Disappeared
Their blatant cries
We'll never hear

They're now extinct
Forever gone
Not existing
Very long

More of my love
For you burns strong
But is can't right
A million wrongs

I love you
And apologize
The damage
Done with open eyes

In Hawaiian
There's a saying
Appropriate and true
Ho'oponopono
Means...
I love you
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
And thank you
