Letter to my Mother--Earth
~Times have changed you
~Your appearance, no longer green and serene
~Your tears contaminated with weakening substances,
~Unable to maintain, your rightful beauty
~Unable to perform your daily duties
~But, I can still envision when your glow was as gold as a sun ray
~When your aura was as peaceful as the calming blue seas
~When a breath of fresh air was soothing
~Everyday, you are faced with challenges
~Your mind polluted
~Your thoughts crowded
~Your vision blurred and cloudy, like fog-filled scene
~You’ve been deprived, starved and left gasping for air from depleted oxygen
~Through it all, you are still strong
~Fighting all along
~So, its my destiny
~To get back your gift of purity.
