Earth Day Poem 2009

To the Mother that bore us, nurtured us, fed us
From the bountiful orchards that sustained our growth,
She gave us life, nourishment, safety, and thus
I write for Her today, hereby taking an oath
To pay homage to the Mother from whom we came.

As toddlers, we began to crawl over the earth
And new to it's harmony we did not understand,
We claimed lands greedily, increasing our girth.
She watched with annoyance, and tried to demand That we be generous, to share what we claimed.

Still we grew, and learned more, and followed the seasons
Impressionable as Mother tried to show us the way.
Then we chose to rebel, soon beginning the treason
Of growing our own foods, and not wandering, but staying
To Manipulate soils. We were never the same.

Leaning on Mother and not truly living
Taking all that She had, claiming it as our own.
We took species and waters; we'd take without giving
Finding lands of enchantment we'd strip down to the bone.
Demolishing everything without any aim.
And now, through the weeping of willows, She cries
She recalls the childhood of Her prodigal child.
And prays for a time we can have a reprise
Of when we wandered the world, its beauty beguiled.
Her pains to reprove. Our efforts to tame.

We have not looked back, though. And Mother gets older,
And soon we may lose Her, and we have discovered
That Mother now may need to rest on our shoulder
She's weary and beaten, and may not recover.
And now She is weakened. And we are to blame.

Now...

We hope and we pray that our Mother will be here
To watch over our children, watch them grow and play
To take up Her guidance and never to fear
That Mother might not have more to give away.
That our children will not take up their parent's shame.

So to She who has given us life and protection.
We know our mistakes, we'll make up for it now.
This day, Mother Earth Day, we sit in reflection.
To Her, we're indebted, and this we avow:
We'll take care of our Mother from whom we came.
