Mother Earth

 An ancient, elegant – once jolly – old Lady,

deserving of so, very much more then

 the rape and pillage, the destruction and pollution,

the chemical alterations – poisons,

the theft of, the abuse of

all her innocent, naked, natural beauty.

This old Lady, who has been – who will again –

as self-destructive as any of her daughters –

of man kind – and without the help of man kind’s

selfish, inconsiderate, thoughtless greed.

Will She, ?, will we ?, survive the turbulent throes

of an uncertain, an unpredictable, veiled future -

even if we ( as capable human inhabitants ),

even if she ( the energy, mother of us all ), -

are able ?, to curb our insatiable appetites,

are able ?, to thwart what may be inevitable -

change and a world, -  her life time of changes.

Is her ?, is our ?, relationship to this universe

a foretold tale of unavoidable doom.

Is our evolution ?, life ?, destiny ?, our development ?,

upon the breasts of Mother Earth,

to come to an end in a daze, a haze of gloom ?,

as we all ( Mother Earth, Life, human kind )

are destined to become ( once again ) cosmic dust

blowing in the winds of memories hoard, of time –

passing into - becoming spirituality adrift on cosmic

winds – ghostly souls, spirits  - once again sailing,

searching, seeking solidity - once again - of visible form

to walk upon the surface of a much better plane,

better then what has become of what we are now !

 

Next time around, will thoughtfulness ?, be the tought !

It has been thought of more - that opened the door,

that – if we do not, soon change - will be closed –

Forevermore !
