Is Earth Angry? (Poem)
Is Earth Angry?
Does the Earth
feel pain?
When we dig
too deep,
burn its skin,
cut its trees —
does it cry?
Storms roar,
fires burn,
rivers rise —
is that
its scream?
Babies cry,
mothers beg,
but still we fight
for power,
for pride.
The Earth waits,
but not forever.
One day,
it might
shake us off,
like dust
from its back.
Because we
hurt it too much,
and never said sorry.
I just hope
we change
before the Earth
gives up on us.
