Poetry Competition Entry: Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Oh worship the day
Blessed be Mother Earth
With a spirit of air
A passion of fire
With veins of living waters
Arms of living mountains
And a heart of gems
Watched over by the Sun
Blessed by the radiance of our Goddess, Moon
And massaged by time
When we were young, Oh Mother Earth
You nurtured us, you fed us
You Cared for us, you protected us
And Now, will we do you justice
Will we be fair
Or, will our greed rape you
Turn you cold and let you die
Teach us, Oh Mother
Open our minds, so that we might feel your pain
Now that you are aging, taking strain
Can we return you to your youth
Nurse you back to health, only time will tell
Blessed be, Oh Mother Earth
May the Gods be with us
So Mote it Be
