Earth Day My Ancient Great Grandmother

Rating: 5.0


My ancient great grandmother is the earth,
Who provided us sustenence, shelter space,
who had everything to give for her favorite sons and daughter,

Generation ago, was these obedientchildren and everything was fine,

Besides us, were birds and ainimals which serves as foods and trees andshades by the flowing rivers, and enters into a wider oceans,
with their own gifts to give,

Varied arrays of multiple fishes and seaweeds and edible clamps.

One day all the equations changed,
The sons demanded much more,

They became greedy, wanted everything including the mothers dowry and personal belongings,

Abusive son enterpreneurs wanted to squeezed thevery last drop of blood from the grieving mother,

In the course of the process,
Amassed many cars and tall buijdings, the human waste and garbages and plastics thrown into the sea,
Poisoning the fish, and fouling the air with industrial pollutants and co2 fumes,

Just think that from her earth bosoms, sprang Adam and then Eve,

then you and all the rest of us.

From the command of the Lord,

only to be betrayed by ungretfull sons and daughters who slaughters more beasts and more fowls.

Decimating every trees for the purpose of modern progress.

Depriving animals their habitat and unbalacing the ecosystems.

One day every artifacts and beautiful living things given by this great grandmother maybe gone and depleted, an extinct relic of the past
