we are living in a sick planet
and we endeavor to make it worse
we continue to pollute and spew out
toxins in just about every form
what we sadly don’t realize is
this planetary orb is strong
that in its resilience, she will
call upon the winds, stir its oceans
activate waiting and dormant volcanoes
and summon universal energies
to do what she has to do to heal
including spewing us out from its care
the thunders boom louder
tornados and hurricanes devastate as never
tsunamis rage with increasing fury and might
the earth unseats its faults throughout
and the surfaces crumble while we stare
we stare and some sigh with heavy heart
