All Belongs Tothe Earth Poem by Matilda Barikuma Ezekiel

We are all surrounded by the earth
We are born to the earth
We live on the earth
Grew up on the earth.

All belongs to the earth.

What is the earth made up off?
U and I, I stand on the earth trying to
Make life easy but it wasn’t
And the earth wasn’t easy
The earth is full of pains, trouble and hard times.

All belongs to the earth

It hasn’t being easy living on this earth
The hard times of this earth is for
Only does who can take heart
It is never easy.

All belongs to the earth

I stand on the earth again seeing how
Different it could be, but it still wasn’t easy
I went to the hill trying to touch the heaven
And it shook and split into parts from angle to angle
And crack down to the earth.

All belongs to the earth

The mouth of the earth was open
I couldn’t hold on to the hill
Neither could I touch the heaven
Then I descended back to the earth
And was covered up by the earth.

All belongs to the earth.
