Mother Earth: Plea for Help

Help me breathe so I can help you breathe

Are you listening?

Mother Earth cries

I’m hot!

The voice dissipates

Because She is suffocating

Because She is wrapped in plastic

Because She is used for our own good

Because that happens when

We choose easy over Her way

Some say Her voice is fake

Some ignore Her voice

Some don’t care

Some give up

I hear Her cry

And I cry too

I say

I hear you

I ask

How can I change

People’s obsession on

Success

Convenience

Business

Money

She murmurs

With a deep inspiration

And an expiration

What will matter?

If I cannot breathe

Your agenda

Your goal

Your success

Your loved ones

Will be gone

When I take

The last breath

So help me first

So I can help you

Breathe
