earth

earth

with its ups and its downs

with its hate

and its love

is something

we should treasure

there is water

there is trees

and oxygen

we are blessed

we are even here at all

there was a chance

out of more than a million

that we were not

and yet

the right things happened

at the beginning of our universe

and the components for life were created

and our sun was created

and our planet

and then

us

so why want to leave

out of have far we came

out of how far you came

despite the chances of life

and you

being here

why would you leave

in the truth

why

Well done! It is crazy how lucky we are that our species even came into existence, evolution could have went in many different ways (which it has) and it just so happened to land on humans. We should be extremely grateful to be the intelligent creatures we are, and it live in a place made just for us.
A great poem :)

Yes we have these. Also we have greed, abuse of land and water and no respect for human life. If we don't change. Nature will survive. Will we? I agree with your logic. Good Earth is paradise. If we don't change our ways. Mother Nature can be a mean bear. I enjoyed the poem. Open the door to thoughts and possibility Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

hello yes i again see your read request and again raise you a review! :)

i like the concept (like a lot) because it is something that is so brutally true and yet like 2 people only ever talk about it, which is kind of ridiculous. the way it is structured makes me feel like it is the thoughts of a person who is just realizing this kinda thing for the first time and they are just so mind-blown and i love that i think its really well done!

but the line "there is trees" should be "there are trees" haha unless you want them to be so mind-blown that they forgot how to grammar

okay i think that is all ily bye

[Ma'at]

yay thanks
well SORRY haha i shall fix it when i can

You are right, we are fortunate to have what we have in this amazing planet. We should do every thing we can to keep it forever. Wonderful vision and poe, my friend.

[Ma'at]
