I am the Mother Earth

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
