A Better Child To the Earth

 A Better Child To the Earth

By: Emily Lui

Whats the matter

Didn't batter your way?

Did your world shatter already?

Oh wow maybe you should

...

Put your sacrifice on this platter

I hold with the earth

What's the matter

You don't have one?

You're young

Everyone's giving you something

While you

That someone

Hasn't learned how to repay

If your world is decaying

maybe you should

Pay up

Help out

Do something

Anyways

Whats the matter

You overworked

Making this a better place

For that squirt child

Think

Teach that shrink

How to care about where they live

Distinctly said

Leave better children to the planet

Don't teach them to leech

Teach them the world

Is their mother

No one wants 

Their mother to cry

Author's Note

Don't teach them you are their mother but teach them the earth is.
Nobody wants to see their mother cry like it is now.
