Scream at Me

Dear Earth,

How do you feel about me?

So focused in the hustle

that I forget who I am.

Eating your creations with pride.

Carving into your body.

Taking all that makes you beautiful

your innocence, color, your voice

Demanding more.

Taking more.

Taking you.

I’m apart of a world who dreams and pretends

That they have nothing to do with you.

That you are inferior and only alive to give

So we take

Without remembering that we are you.

Can you love?  
I ask

Can you love?
I rip you

Strip you

Rob you

But

Do you still love me?

Can you speak?

Are you telling me to stop?

Am I yours?

Mom?
 

I belong to a society

That thinks you are only alive to give

So we take

Without knowing she, her, him, he

we

are you

Mother Earth, scream out your name

So we all can hear you.

Find our blood is connected to your oceans

Our skin is connected to your soils,

Our heart is connected to your core,

Our souls are connected to the murder of all your children.

We are responsible for it all.

All of it.

We

Are

You.
