I'm sorry


Dear Mother

I'm so sorry that I disapointed you

I'm sorry that I took you for granted

You gave birth to me

Fed me and made sure I was safe

But me and my sibilings didn't return the favor

We didn't take care for you like we should have

Now the land with  fruits, trees that you cultivated to provide food for us are dying 

All because we want to be modern

You can no longer hold the shield  blocking us from being turned to ashes because you have sucked the life out of you

Now you are weak and dry

It's sad to say that you will die and most of your children won't have the decency to admitt that they have done you wrong

But I'm  apoligizing for them

I' m sorry they did you wrong

I will also apoligize to my brothers and sisters who won't have the privelege to see how strong you were

They won't get to see how you beautiful you were

They won't get to taste how sweet some of your tears were

They will only taste you salty tears

They won't be able to feel the warmth of your hug 

You will no longer have room for them to sleep because your tears will leave no room

Little Brothers, Little Sisters, I'm sorry

Our mother was strong and beautiful but thanks to me and our other siblings

She's now weak, but you have to admitt that she still looks beautiful even in her worse time

Forgive me

I'm not the only one that realizes my wrongdoings

Some of my siblings have too

We will fight for mother so she will have a future

We will fight and we will never stop

Whose with me?

We love you mother and we will nevver stop
