Have I not
provided for you?
Have you not built homes from my resources?
Have you not eaten fully of the garden of delight, which I have provided for you?
In all things I have taken care of you.
I’ve provided the fresh air you breathe,
And the flowing fountains of water you drink
The ground on which you stand is all me!
So why?
Why have you turned ungrateful to me?
I’ve nurtured you from when you were young, but now you are older you find means and
ways to abuse me.
The visible memories and atrocities soaked into my soil and sea,
Leaving visible scars upon my landscape.
I have been raped multiple times,
Stripped of my beaches and sand.
Please cover me!
Cover me if you can.
I have been trampled upon,
Now the ghosts of screaming memories torment me.
My DNA became defective due to the over use of
pesticide sprayed on seedlings to kill your pests into the bodies of my children damaged by poison,
Not only is my body hurt by Pesticide, Garbage, Filth, Muck, Nasty
chemicals and Waste, it is also hurt with the noise that you make.
When was the last time you stopped to hear the birds sing or to wander at the sunset?
Your chemicals are toxic and disastrous too,
They are destroying my
good friend known as “Ozone” to you
Ozone shields me from the passions of the sun,
Do you want to burn?
Any one?
There is nowhere in my 36 square miles of land, that pollution has not tormented with its murderous hands.
The beauty of my creation has been manipulated and artificially changed by genetic engineering.
Look at my children of yester year,
See how they’ve progressed.
Put down your pesticide and
Give your can a rest, and mimic your forefathers
They tilled my virgin soil pure from all pesticides that you know.
Yams, Pumpkin and Potatoes that is what they grew
Healthy, Strong, and Brilliant they became,
I’ve often always smiled at them and blessed them with the dew and rain.
But you!
You have made my lungs
burn and my stomach churn
But being the loving
mother I am
I still stretch my loving capacity as far as I can.
Crying for your help and for you to understand.
For some time now I’ve been sending warnings to you
But it’s obvious that you don’t care what you do
Your dishonoring me will not continue!
I will give you some pointers for what to do
You can join a group take your friends with you
Want to go somewhere?
A bicycle will do.
The exhaust from the car is not good for you
You can go to the streets and clean up the mess
You can help to save me from more distress
You shall not kill me!
It will not be allowed!
I will shake you as fleas off a dog’s back if I must
For what you take is never enough
Hold on to the ways that went before
Let go of the ways you now adore
Then the newborn age of light will set us free
So please!
Please!
Walk with me
Rebirth is at hand
It’s time for you to make a positive stand.
