Nature, My Family

Nature, my Mother and Father

Brother and Sister whom I love!

Our lives are interwoven like an antique

Quilt knitted by the same Artisan 

and conceived by the same Father.

How I love you sweet mother! 

My love burns like an all consuming fire 

and my passion for you grows

 with the dawning of a new day and your 

perpetual maternity brings a smile to my face!

Alas, my love for you isn't enough! 

You suffer from your Children's negligence and utter disregard of you! 

How long will humanity continue to batter and abuse you, our dear mother? 

When will your cries be heard? 

Is humanity so heartless as to not care for its mother? 

How much more can you take your dearest brother? 

Fairest sister, why are we deaf to your pleas?

We are of but one substance,

From the dust of you and the mud, we were made

Oh what a shame! Humanity has lost its respect for

Its fearfully and wonderfully created mother,

Has defamed the name of its father,

Made a fool of its faithful and wise brother,

And made its sister cry in shame!

Our days of corrupting you are drawing

To a fast and screeching halt! You

Have made this clear, our first family

Is reclaiming their rightful place

In the hearts and minds of their children

Oh nature! How great thou art!
