"THE EARTH HAS FEELINGS TOO"    I am Mother Nature's creation  I am made up of gasses, minerals and nations  I have served mankind for many years and  I too, have troubles, frustration's and fears.  ~*~ I feel pain, when a 'For Sale' sign is hammered into my soil  I cry out when a hole is dug, by those who toil  I shriek when a bomb makes a new crater  I choke when a fire is lit by a traitor. ~*~  I feel pain, when you drive over me with a truck and a car  I gasp for air under concrete and tar  I weep when I bathe in foul water, that's soggy  I sigh when a tree is cut, like a limb from a body.  ~*~  I feel pain, when weighed down by buildings too tall  I howl when you take from me, my life's resources, all  I smell strongly, my doom, is beckoning  I'll vent my revenge one day, then man can study this reckoning! ~*~ TeAnne © Sept 16. 1998
