The small girl walked out of her house, her face downcast and sad.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXSkpxFy5F
Far away from her, situated  on another part of my mass, a tiny child, his body hideously thin, cried out for food as he starved.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIN64DMdzn
And on yet another part of my being, men fell by the hundreds, impaled by small pieces of lead. I suddenly shook with horror and began to weep, my grief sending rain down in torrents.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkRerRAMEE
Nothing had stopped, nothing had changed since the day my children came into existence.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNOKp7hyH
My children still hated each other, still killed each other, I was disregarded and abused,.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq5qT8Sjfe
The lesser creatures that inhabited me, did not know me, they were ignorant, and killed each other also in a deadly cycle, but they differed from the humans.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0fySMNLqa
Humans understand death, but killed and inflicted pain without cause, animals possessed  no understanding, only instincts.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq2w09FbDR
And I possessed the grief laden task of witnessing the misery and depravity  unfolding inside my own body.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSsfSsxXbj
Times of actual joy were rare, but here and there I would catch a glimpse of a celebration, or a happy family, and my body would shudder, wishing for more love.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7A3eyWAkE

The humans' learned men spoke true. when they said my heart was physically fiery and unbearably hot, but the only thing I could feel from the depths of my fiery core 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDNsvUh3AH
were loneliness and  sadness.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlEzue2MVl
I am Mother Earth, and I am dying.  585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwbz2iPcIJ
