THE RAGE of MOTHER EARTH, a poem

 

How can we calm

Thy rage:

burning forests,

drowning rivers,

melting icebergs

Oh Gaia, oh Terra Mater,

oh Mother Earth

 

What sacrifice will sate:

us, our homes, our children,

the air, the ocean, the soil

How demanding will you be

Oh Gaia, oh Terra Mater

oh Mother Earth

 

When the ordeal ends

will the survivors

be so few

as to be barely noticeable

on the outer skin

of Mother Earth
