A Mother's Punishment

Peace

Can I finally have peace

Human life has reached its end

so now I just want peace

I am in constant pain

and through that pain I endured

I have been ripped apart by my children

I have been bled dry by my children

I have given them everything

Without me

There is no chance of survival

I am very tired

The pain

It's too much to bare

What if I were to no longer give

What if I rose up against you 

My children

What would you do

Shall we see

My mountains will rise and crush the life I have given you

The seas will swallow up the land once again

My plant-life with devour the cities you call great

Your older brothers and sisters will attack you ruthlessly

I am not a kind mother

Not to you

Not anymore

Humans

My youngest children

You will perish

I will be the one to bring upon your end

This is so powerful. The sense of betrayal felt by Mother Earth is very much valid. We have all let her down. Thanks for sharing :)

This is a very good and well written poem. Good job!
