Gia

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

Emotional write. The Earth is indeed a beautiful thing that can be mistreated. I like how you showed this in the poem with mythology, Gaia if i'm not mistaken. This part here is so touching as well:
"How much longer must she cry
Before we hear her
Before we recognize her"

Yep. Gaia is an old native american term for our mother earth but the name is used in other cultures too.

Gia. Reminds me on that movie starring Angelina Jolie.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It has a seriously deep meaning, and it just over all amazing. Great job

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I have a strong connection with the earth and I feel like in a lot of ways people take it fir granted.

[Felecia]

*nods* I have to agree with that

This has got a deep meaning.
100 from my side!

Thank you very much

This poem advocates very well for her safety and preservation. You show the reader how important the earth mother is and what she does for us. This lesson shows us that she is there and to be aware of her. On a large scale--it will probably take a long time for this lesson to be widely accepted. However, I think this poem can open the eyes of those who read it.

[Ahmad Cox]

That was my intention. :)

Our mother needs our help.

I assume Gia is mother earth...good shout out. We all need to pay respect to this one.

[Ahmad Cox]

I wish more people would understand this.

It's back to that 'apathy' again, it's all around us, no matter what subject matter you choose, unfortunately.
