To Mother Earth

Mother Earth, you are truly divine.
Without you, there would be no life.
I could fill infinite books and pages
With words in your honor and praises.

Of the millions of species you bore,
We humans have taken so much more.
Even with the billions of neurons gifted,
We have from our purposes far drifted.

You gave us eyes, but we lack the vision
To see the equality in all your creations.
You gave us ears, but we choose to hear
All that pleases us from all that is dear.

We feel so proud of all our inventions
Oblivious of the impact of our intentions.
Not realizing you still hold the controls
To the wheel of fate as it turns and rolls.

When will we know for better or worse
That you are our sole link to the Universe?
That the answers we seek lie within you,
And the reasons for our existence, too.
