The small girl walked out of her house, her face downcast and sad.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9PuKNReI
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd9Q6qMNgx
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLLn7G8Qug
Nothing had stopped, nothing had changed since the day my children came into existence.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qje8bWnR2
My children still hated each other, still killed each other, I was disregarded and abused,.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfjX9GPehe
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbegQoJ6rS
Humans understand death, but killed and inflicted pain without cause, animals possessed  no understanding, only instincts.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05U65h2RVL
And I possessed the grief laden task of witnessing the misery and depravity  unfolding inside my own body.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVGuP4a12L
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3swQh3hEc

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 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqmC3WB8g
were loneliness and  sadness.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5L724neF
I am Mother Earth, and I am dying.  551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRMxVSjXAu
