Roaring thunder
flashing lightning
bucketing torrents
of rain
she's showing us
her disgust
her suffering
her pain
our self indulgence
in the oceans
on the land,
in the air we all breathe
in her way
she's showing us
trying to make us
all see
consequences
for actions
for taking more
than we need
we need to live
without destroying
without killing
without greed
she's given us everything
we need to survive
but we always want more
so we take
we keep
killing the planet
not learning
from past mistakes
she absorbed
vile toxins
buried species
watched forests burn
felt her belly ripped open
for jewels
for power and wealth
why can't we learn
volcanoes erupting
rivers flooding
earth quaking
beneath
famine and droughts
seasons changing
death and disease
let's hear
what she's saying
let us see
what we've done
let us treasure
this precious
mother of ours
cause we only have one!
