I give to you willingly, yet you continually
dig into me and take from me what shouldn't be revealed.
You gouge wounds that will never heal.
I bestow on you My Harvest sown from my body.
You want my body parts instead.
You mine my essences. My life forces are
bled dry. I'm poisoned, pillaged, plundered by my children.
The lives I've sustained for centuries of
centuries multiply and thrive.
And they're eating me alive
Axes and drills killing me
Fracking and oil spills killing me
My animals hunted for thrills
killing me.
Oceans become combustible.
You're killing me.
My children have become my parasites
killing one another for parts of me
no one should own.
They poison my harvest with chemicals
and clones. I'm covered in sores.
My wounds erupting.
My scars deepening
While wars rage on and my blackened blood
keeps spilling.
The poisoned Mother becoming their
prisoner of war.
