Poem: Inhale Exhale
The first emanation from the darkness of mother space
Her breath is of the soul
She is home to billions of species including humans
She is every man, woman and child
She is the first teacher of civilization
In her womb lies Agriculture and culture
The basic element of every civilization is a byproduct of her wisdom
She is the giver and sustainer of the basic tenant of life
Through the chemistry of science she gives off oxygen to mammals including plants
And the forest acknowledge her allure by furnishing and creating carbon dioxide within her temple
In order to embrace and feel her energy ones must fill their lungs with love
Inhale Exhale
She showers our green pastures with milk and honey
Yet we threat her earthly visage and flesh with weapons of mass destruction
Inhale Exhale
Poising the air, waters and oasis
The ocean kingdom is gasping for life while being choked with toxic waste
Air pollution industrial revolution causing the inner city children asthmatic panic attack
How can she survive the city soiling and distress?
Inhale Exhale
Killing of the rain forest, utilizing brute physical force to
Undermine other species to the brink of existence
Man declares "survey-enjoy her fruitful land mass, minerals and beauty"
And yet we end her joy
Inhale Exhale
She is on the threshold of losing faith in our ability to protect her
She is sitting around waiting for demise
Inhale Exhale
There is a greater purpose in the world and its begins with her
We gotta do something before she dies
Who is to save her me or you?
