I Am Earth
I am Earth
I am Earth
I am your Mother
I am your Father
You’re from me
You’re in me
Look. I need to speak about our relationship.
It’s not working.
From my birth waters you evolved
Gills to lungs
Claws to feet
Vertebrae by vertebrae you grew,
To pick the apple from my tree but
Homo Sapien – you have forsaken me!
I offered myself to you as a home, just a few of you,
And now – you’ve taken over!
I’m feeling used, abused – bemused!
The evidence of your intelligence seems displayed in you -
As a mutant pollutant!
If your aim is to survive
Then, why do I derive
Your actions. Inactions. Earth as your toy?!
To your Life Systems you do destroy?
Yet, I have seen you sculpt beauty from my jewels
I have seen you love the unlovable
I have seen you harness Water, Air, Earth, Fire!
Machines that propel you beyond my aura in to Infinity.
But you always return home to me
For my eclectic mix of gases give you Life!
But – You’re digging in my skin
Drilling through my skeleton
Shaving off my forest of hair
I singe with pain as you forage in my membrane.
You’re stripping me naked!
Squeezing out my oxygen
Wheezing with toxic pathogens
I…..I….can’t breathe!
I am The instigator – the ultimate Creator of Life itself!
What have you done?!
Look, we CAN do a deal
Are you willing to stop the drilling?
Halt the scraping for my skin is flaking
The poison arrow blunted, this negativity shunted?
For God’s sake – I’ve got a headache!
My filigree capillaries are open for you to heal
Criss crossing, interlocking,
Criss crossing, interlocking
Ley Lines of spiralling time -
The Planetary Grid.
So now is the time to place your peace bid!
I want you swimming, swimming, swimming in the Waters of Life!
Swimming, swimming, swimming in the Waters of Life!
Pacific, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean blue,
Boo Hoo….
I’m crying salty tears for your brothers, your sisters
The blisters of your karma,
Feeling calmer, when you pray?
So pray!
Just pray.
Traditional human cultures,
Repel capitalist vultures, as,
They are the Keepers of the Ancient Wisdom!
Heal this ancestral wound
Tribal peoples of Earth are not doomed!
Protect this precious jewel
Use your intention as a tool!
Integrating with nature -
Not dominating, Disintegrating!
Working in symbiosis. In bliss!
And whilst I’m bleeding, you’re still breeding!
Now I’m peeling the ocean back!
Ocean bed impacted, compacted with fossils of your ancestors
Look – I’m happy to house only Long Term investors!
Otherwise you may be crawling back to the sea – you see?
Well. I am now serving you with an eviction notice,
But (some free advice)
HARMONY WITH ME… WILL SET YOU FREE!
Can you feel the Force?
“Gravity switch still ‘ON’ Madam”
Don’t you see the gravity of the situation as your obsessing with nation?
With frontiers in my eyes
Rolling in the avalanche of my destructive dance?
Icicle shards splicing my advance
Slicing as thin as eyelashes fluttering in a trance?
“Gravity switch now ‘OFF’ Madam”
Can you feel the Force?
I’m warning you….
Please sing in harmony with my planet song
In tune sculpting a sand dune.
I’m holding you in my hand
You’re just pollen on my skin
Microscopic flecks – by heck
Let’s just hope I don’t sneeze!
Achoo – Good bye to You!
Byeee………
You are now free to receive some real Ozone therapy……..
But, I’m not going anywhere,
I kinda like my solar system position
You know – not too hot, not too cold,
Transition of orbital sway, night in to day, day in to night.
But before I close this party titled ‘Human Life’
Ask yourself this to the depth of your heart
What are YOU doing?
What are YOU doing?
What are YOU doing?
Personal responsibility down to every hair on your head
Or are you just shutting your eyes, closing your ears,
Focusing on your insignificant fears,
Filling yourself up with the immaterial material
Closing the dustbin lid ‘cos you want to be rid.
But you’re dumping in your garden!
The Garden of Life!
Where the iridescent insects scuttle to
The subtle shutter of butterflies flutter.
The magical ocean of hidden caves
And waves
Where each caress does undress the sand.
But you need to understand -
You can never totally destroy ME!
I will mutate whilst you debate
Whilst your visitors pass will expire
Your breath will become fire!
I’m sobbing as I see another dead whale bobbing,
I’m sobbing because the temperature is throbbing.
I’m sorry but the tsunami are these tears from me.
It’s becoming uncontrollable now!
I’m quaking, the land is shaking
Forget the atomic – I’m rubbing my plates tectonic,
I’ve had enough!
Now I want to play rough!
I love you unconditionally but this is tactical
It’s just about being practical.
Show me respect!
Love your people!
Love yourself!
I am Earth
I am Earth
I am your Mother
I am your Father
I am All and Everything.
