National Poetry Month: Our Mother Earth by Orion Olson

Our Earth Mother 

By Orion Olson  

  

Our Earth Mother is ill  

She is sweating  

Burning up 

She has a high temperature 

Affecting each and every one of us 

 

Her perspiration it falls fast 

Freezing everything in its path 

She still needs to cool herself down 

Weather patterns have been disrupted 

By what we put in her clouds 

 

Man’s carbon waste clogs her sky 

Poking holes in her shield  

Used to protect you and I 

Mankind needs to lend her a hand  

Help her cool down  

Create a universal plan 

To protect and love her 

Walking with her  

Hand in hand 

For our futures are inter-connected 

We need a healthy Earth Mother  

To help ensure the survival of Man.
