Our Earthly Mother Poem by Juwon Daniel

Our Earthly Mother

Rating: 4.0


Our earthly mother,
Who gives us life;
Our earthly mother,
Heart filled with strife,

We love her not,
Though love we should;
Her death we plot,
For life's 'own good';

She gave us air, and food, and home,
That's not enough we humans scream;
With greedy lust our mouths do foam,
With evil hopes our eyes do gleam;

Her air we fill,
With smoke and death;
Ourselves we kill,
For lack of breath;

The sea once clean,
Now choked with waste;
To drink we fear,
Will death make haste;

The soil once pure,
And full of life;
Now barren sand,
Of farmer's strife;

No longer she,
Can stand our 'love';
Now we must flee,
Like scattered dove;

She gave us all,
Unto the end;
Now we appalled,
Our lives defend

Our earthly mother, Who gives us life; Our earthly mother, Heart filled with strife, We love her not, Though love we should; Her death we plot, For life's 'own good'; Good diction and rhyme, iT a betrayal sign

Mother earth is being killed by the hands of her children, but those same hands can save her as well. Good poem, good rhythm and poetic diction.
