Gaia is Sick

Gaia is Sick

The Earth has a cold,

it has for a while

What started as a cough,

Has turned into west nile

Us humans have caused it,

We brought the disease

She coughs and she vomits,

as we cut down more trees. 

Her nose is quite stuffy, 

her throat is raw and sore, 

There is no medicine

For the things she endures. 

She loves all her creatures, 

despite all our greed

Every day she still blesses us

With flowers and bees. 

She provides us with water, 

that we love to waste

She provides us with food

That we only allow some to taste

The rain is her tears, 

she cries quote a lot

As she watches us humans

Fight over what the other’s got

Every day we kill her,

she screams out in pain

But we do not hear her,

There’s too much to gain. 

Our cars need their fuel, 

Our houses need light, 

People need paper to throw out the next night

The ocean is dying, 

We don’t give a f**k, 

Those creatures aren’t pets 

So they can suck it up

Our greed is her downfall

Our wars are her plague

Never do we think

That we are to blame

The world will soon burn,

we are fanning the blaze

Soon we will smolder,

engulfed by her flame
