The small girl walked out of her house, her face downcast and sad.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUqHAv8EIf
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsD5wi4xw
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1SnI0MhOt
Nothing had stopped, nothing had changed since the day my children came into existence.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDeM1OL0B0
My children still hated each other, still killed each other, I was disregarded and abused,.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGapcWy3e1
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJWsvvAUSu
Humans understand death, but killed and inflicted pain without cause, animals possessed  no understanding, only instincts.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aNzQPU8WX
And I possessed the grief laden task of witnessing the misery and depravity  unfolding inside my own body.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpQ3YN4veQ
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6utP3Gfjnd

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 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYhfOKDokQ
were loneliness and  sadness.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZM4qoCABT
I am Mother Earth, and I am dying.  589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe9DSJAs5b
