The small girl walked out of her house, her face downcast and sad.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTczsaoxbJR
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUR9xnYZeY
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRpG83Wzx
Nothing had stopped, nothing had changed since the day my children came into existence.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrup99Gbh
My children still hated each other, still killed each other, I was disregarded and abused,.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis0G7mIWrv
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtjANaSL1H
Humans understand death, but killed and inflicted pain without cause, animals possessed  no understanding, only instincts.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfy1MPggfV
And I possessed the grief laden task of witnessing the misery and depravity  unfolding inside my own body.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBLBFkvkcM
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0QM3O6oN2

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 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4ISKux8q
were loneliness and  sadness.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnfEpTGl0Y
I am Mother Earth, and I am dying.  578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvT8Yg1yHV
