Mother’s Day Poem For Earth

I am passive. I am silent

I am Earth

I have given unconditionally

To each of you

I do not discriminate my bounty

I give to all of you equally

I am food, water, shelter and nourishment

I am the custodian of your light

This place  Earth

Was never meant for you to own

Ravage, pillage and control

How can you ever own me?

We gave men the power to guard

The life force, instead they made it

A reason to make themselves grand

And give suffering to the gentle

You kill yourself when you kill my creations

I watch you suffer as you struggle to understand

Who you are isn’t what you own

You are my children and not my owners

You are visitors of my vast guesthouse

Stop living as if you will never die

Death is just a heartbeat away

Make peace the mission of your life

The only way home is peace
