Dying Mother Earth

Dying Mother Earth, Photograph by Ansul

Dark clouds hide the face of ‘Light’,
We are oblivious of the truth.

The leafless trees sigh,
And the skies weep all day.

Did mankind show humanity
to the symbol of ‘Peace and Love’?

Or are we to consumed by our ego,
our intolerances,
to see the the face of ‘Mother Earth’?

Now, uncomplaining, in her grave she lies,
A place where souls can reach.

But sorry are the ones left behind,
In the cold and weeping night.
