When Mother Earth Cries

Missing image

She looked about the devastation

tears griped her soul

chard death lay all around

no mercy shown

 

Cries of sorrow filled the air

the taste of fear did sting

she looked about one last time

longing for a reprieve

 

Once a breath taking forest

filled with love and life

gone in one careless moment

without thought or regret

 

A world of life destroyed

by a single cigarette

 

The Father sent a cooling wind

a soft but gentle rain

and from this love she will heal

but never to be same...

 

 

 

 

Author notes

was simply heart broken at the burning of a beautiful forest from a careless persons cigarette please be kind to our Mother, after all this she belongs to us all

    This unfortunately is something that happens here to and I guess in many parts where fires can devestate our beautiful word so quickly. The animals and the forest torn to shreds because of such carelessness. Another excellent write that had me close to tears. There is nothing sadder than seeing something like this. Thank oyu again for your wonderful writes that you share so with us. I wish you the very very very best in the contest.

    Such a sad sad poem. The destruction we perpetrate on the earth is like a tantrum by spoiled little kids is it not? We take and take from the earth and give so very little back. Carelessness is the norm. I admit I like the modern conveniences but at what cost do we get them?

    Good write Whispering!

    Wise ponderings...

    Wisely said, "When Mother Earth Cries" has shown the picture of reality and our vulnerability facing it. A warning message in between lines gives thi profound poem a mission to stimulate environmental consciousness. "When Mother Earth Cries" shines.

    In gratitude and admiration,

    Why Oh why can't some people wake up and smell the roses. One thoughtless action and many lives pay the price. Thank you my dear sister for this reminder to us all to think before we act. Excellent...mal

    Just as the sun sets on one day, the wind of change blows through and makes renewal of the next sunrise a little harder to bare. Your words are chilling na hemeoone, but ones to bring home the reality of mans own degradation of the ground he walks...you hit hard, and it works.

    This is really powerful and so sad. When we think of smoking we think of the lives it destroys but it destroys more than just people. Bravo Mom!

    Love,
