Mother Nature
Oh, we your loving children
Suckled oil from your breast
Drained you from your crust
And burned the crumbs we left
We gouged out your body
You, a gaping fish to gut
Drilled machines like butcher’s blade
As bony trees fell cut
We dipped our metal claws
Deep in your leafy skin
Tearing chunks of boulder flesh
With greed our pleasured sin
We rigged and fracked and stripped you
Straight down to your core
Then stamped our cement feet and
Demanding you give more
Oh, mother you are hurting
Your pain and rage are wild
If only I could heal you
I, your loving child
