Our Mother Earth is approximately 4.5 billion-years old
it has seen numerous ups & downs, many flourishes & ruins
but it did survive all: the best and the worst of times
that is, until a century or so ago
the Earth’s atmosphere allowed millions of different kinds of lives to evolve
never did they say “thanks” to the Mother Earth
not because they were mean, selfish, or arrogant
it was the lack of their linguistic development – as we understand it
but one specie Mother Earth let evolve, grow, and succeed vastly
the only one who also addressed her as “Mother” & “Goddess”
appears to be the one that will also prove to be her nemesis
human beings will not only destroy the Mother Earth
but will, in their race to unhinged greed, also annihilate themselves
but not all of Mother Earth’s children are bent on the worst outcome
it’s just the few with the most power and greed, ones who don’t care
that gang is led by the most disrespectful, avaricious, criminal called Trump
he hates to regulate anything which hinders his money-making propensity
so instead of addressing the global warming, he shouted it down as a “hoax“
Trump’s real mother once wondered:
and today, Mother Earth probably echoes that wonder:
“What sort of monster have I permitted to evolve in my lap.”
what indeed!
