I’m Sorry Earth

I’m sorry Earth

For the havoc we have wrecked

For the beauty we have tainted

For the injustices we have committed

Against you, our one and only true home

I’m sorry Earth

For jeopardizing your gleaming glory

and hiding your stunning sceneries

As if embarrassed by your breathtaking beauty

With mountains of waste and barrels of your prehistoric past.

I’m sorry Earth

For when warned of the torment you felt

We kept harvesting and burning too much

And saving too little to fulfill our superficial needs

Inflicting pain on the home we all cherish

I’m sorry Earth,

For the people throwing snowballs in the Senate

Ignoring and dismissing your reality as alternative fact

Pretending that you weren’t sick,

That you were fine and nothing was wrong,

I’m sorry Earth,

That there are a few, strong many

Silenced by those ignorant of

Something we all share,

Your uniqueness, beauty, and definition of existence.
