Earth's Embrace!!

The rivers move along your
shores in a gentle caress,
softly kissing your banks,

Traveling strongly and
precisely thoughout your
contours in perfect ranks,

Rejuvenating all that lives
along the majesty of your
lovely shores,

The river that brings the
breezes, which dance to a
gentle melody with your
trees,

On the breeze come flying
in the cavorting storm of
yellow black bumble bees,

Dancing on abounding
flower beds, taking honey
for their mother Queen,

While they hum their song,
they work to create the
wonderful delicious cream,

Powerful mother earth, you
drink the waters of the falling
rain, creating life in all that
touches your enriching dirt,

Then why oh why, has man
in their selfishness and
neglect cause you so much
hurt,

The answer will come to them,
when you're tired of their
ambiguity and you self correct,

Brining your death embrace to
all of those that have made the
Earth into this ugly wreck!
