Embrace us

by melissacus

We tramp through her woods, her fields, her mountains Covering her beauty with concrete This angelic land Not grasping we are killing life beneath our paws No distress if we had known It's okay Mother Earth embraces us, it's okay We are pardoned This I can't comprehend While she loves us, thrives us, we do not love her back Why don't we love her as she does? We are blind Unappreciate Unaware She pardons us Embraces us, it's okay "How embarrassing it is to be human"

I really like your piece, it points out the obvious that no one seems to see. My favorite part is the last line! how very true. :)
