FOR WHAT I AM

[Guest guest]

FOR WHAT I AM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

I am the Earth.

And bear the Life that forms your Body.

 

I am your Host.

And I am a Living Entity like You.

 

But You as my Guests...

are sickening ME.

 

For You have stolen and sold ME.

You have befouled and polluted ME.

You have scorched and burnt ME.

You have layed ME bare...

and raped ME.

 

You are suffocating ME...

with your Stench of Money.

And You are killing ME...

with the Fruits of Hate.

 

You have ripped ME open and bombarded ME...

and all for what?

 

Yet I steadily turn...

keep my Face to the Light and do not worry.

For I will be.

 

While You will suffer the Pain You are.

 

For I know how to rid myself...

of Bugs that bother ME.

 

For in the days to come...

I will rumble and shake...

I will rattle and spit.

 

And finally...

I will twist my Poles to wash You away...

while I take a bath.

 

To prepare myself anew and again...

to give Sustenance...

to the New Flowers

that know and respect ME...

as One of them... and for What I Am.
