I am the mother earth
I am the great mother
who you rebel against in every way
I am life giving
yet you destroy me every day
I feed your hunger
only you waste what I provide
I give you my breath
just so you may pollute it
I give you shelter
yet you do not savor what I give
I give you beauty
even that you have destroyed
my child do thou not care who I am
I am your loving mother
I am the mother earth
hail and so mote it be
