When the land goes barren
And there are no trees and running streams of water left
Will that be when we realize how much we need her?
The Original Mother...
Mother Nature.
A people who have never known her
experienced her
or gotten the chance to fall in love with her.
Will never be able to truly feel her
see her
hear her cries
or empathize with her demise.
We have all betrayed the mother
in one way or another
And the betrayal has run deep within our DNA
For centuries
And yes...
It will take time to reconnect to her...
But, she is willing to forgive.
She is patient
She is kind
She is self-sacrificing
She is the original mother.
She holds us in her womb
as we mature
Into saints or demons
She holds no biases
She loves all her children
Even the ones who beat her
cut her...
Still, she screams
I forgive you, I forgive you
For you know not what you do
You have been stripped from me
You do not know how connected you are to me
You have forgotten me
But I will never forget you
Children of the Earth
Children of my Womb.
