If I were the earth (poem)

If I were the earth

and my blood was the sea

and my skin was the land

and there you lived free

Would you do as you do?

If I were the earth

and you believed in God

and you loved all well

yet me you did not

Why would you do as you do?

If I were the earth

and I carried you whole

and you saw my beauty

yet my beauty you stole

Could you undo what you do?

My heart is for you

my spirit is for you

my core is for you

So why do you do as you do?

I wrote this poem in a desperate attempt to allow some insight into the damages we are doing to this earth. The harm that is being caused because of the selfish creatures that we are. If you have your faith, Numbers 35:33 said,

“You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it.”
