Terra
Open gashes sealed with concrete and tar,
when I think you've had your fill you only raise the bar.
Torn apart constantly to be rebuilt to satiate your need,
my originality, my creations, and my gifts thrown away by your greed.
I envy my brothers and sisters since they remain free from your corruption,
unlike me, subjected to your consistent degradation...
You will steal all you can till there is nothing left to unearth,
but I will remain because I am a Mother, I am Earth.
Watching your slow self destruction is all I can do,
not because I hate you, but because I also created you.
