    A Plea From Mother Gaia



    I am Mother Gaia
    the Earth,
    from me flows all
    ride upon my currents.
    All things come from me,
    and eventually come back to me,
    I am earth, water, air and fire
    I am part of the All in All .
    I am the giver of life,
    nurturer of all that lives upon me,
    I am the breast that man feeds upon.
    Yet you would seek to destroy me,
    first raping me ;
    taking that which is not yours to take ;
    nor mine to give, without destroying myself .
    Have I not been a good mother ;
    did I not nurture you in times
    when the rest of the gods
    would have had you destroyed .
    Did I not yield unto you
    time after time,
    the substances of my very being,
    all that you needed
    to help you grow and learn
    evolving into children of infinity.
    From my bosom flows nourishment
    from my heart I give you healing,
    Yahveh chose me from all heavenly bodies
    to form you out of.
    Stop!
    Please Stop!
    As your Mother I beg you, please stop!
    Drilling , reforming,
    excavating, burning,
    ravishing and raping me,
    defacing and polluting me.
    Once I was the envy
    of all the planets
    Once I was the envy
    of all the planets,
    once I was called the blue gem,
    the perfect jewel of the universe.

    Very good poem indeed. Too many are unaware of the fact that we reside on a living, intelligent entity, which we are slolwy destroying in our greed and ignorance.

    If the Great Mother could speak she couldn't make the message any clearer. excellent write. great choice for P.O.E.T.S. anthology.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
