Gia

Gia

by Ahmad Cox

Gia I adore you

I emplore you

Give us one more chance

Your children's folly knows no bounds

We seem bent on destruction

Bent on our own twisted ideas of justice

That justify the destruction of others

We can not see

We can not hear

The cry of Gia

The cry of our mother

She cries for us

She cries for herself

She cries for all creation

How much longer must she cry

Before we hear her 

Before we recognize her

And we allow our beautiful mother Gia

To breathe

To heal 

To sing

And to live

Absolutely beautiful! The only thing I would suggest is breaking it up into stanzas. Excellent write! Full of truth.

Very nice write. I don't think I knew of the word Gia... interesting to learn. I like this part here:
"How much longer must she cry
Before we hear her"

Who is Gia? Is it an allegory?

[Steven Cash]

I thought so. :)

[Ahmad Cox]

I am glad you picked it out

[Kim Martel]

you emplore her? I'm just sure i understand this line. implore... ? "twisted ideas of justice" great line.
your word repetitions of "cry and cries sounds more forced than adding to flow.
