Mother Earth is sick. Mother Earth has been sick for a long time.
Mother Earth is suffering from a wheezing cough because she cannot breathe.
Mother Earth has a temperature; she is heating up with fever.
This fever, this disease, is not her fault. It was given to her by us.
That is why she is sad.
She has been sad for a long time.
Confined to herself in seeming isolation, unable to reach out and talk to the people who have made her so ill.
Because people would not listen.
The people would not even listen to their own scientists and wise men.
Oh, many scientists and wise men have warned us, the children of Mother Earth.
The poets, too. The poets have beseeched us not to treat our Mother with such callousness.
The poets warned of the dire consequences we would face if we did not heed the warnings.
Angry Earth
- First, she burned up Australia.
- Then she rained hurricanes all over America.
- She sent earthquakes, mudslides, droughts and floods.
Still mankind carried on doing what they had always done.
Until the virus came.
A virus that just happens to exactly replicate the very symptoms Mother Earth is suffering from right now: fever, shortness of breath, fatigue and pain.
It's Time for Earth
“The world is waking up,” “The world is waking up,” she told the leaders of the world, “and change is coming, whether you like it or not.”
The world is waking up indeed.It is not a pleasant awakening.
