Analysis of Mother Earth



Sun so hot yet smog blocked it,
Car fumes fill the air making you cough,
Oil spills that destroy ocean life,
Birds, fish, dolphins and whales die because of it,
Rubbish that blows in the wind,
Fly tipping in beauty spots,
We all need to do something …. Anything.
The ozone is damaged a plaster won’t fix it,
Weather getting more extreme,
Hurricanes and tornadoes getting stronger more often,
Droughts that kill crops, animals and people,
Flooding more often in places you would not think of
, The summers getting hotter enough to cause fires.
Winter colder, wetter and for longer it seems,
Rain forests decimated,
  Mother earth is fighting back,
 She is telling us “clean it up”.
Earth is our home not a rubbish dump,
Protests, shouting and riots don’t do anything,
Share a car ride,
Walk, cycle even using public transport will help,
Use the bins Recycle, Small things
Mother earth needs us to change our ways to help.

About this poem

This came to me during lockdown with reports of the animals venturing onto motorways and the air level being more pure. No traffic no people out nature came around to visit less animals been killed it just sows US humans destroy everything we touch.

Tracy Mcfayden

I'm 56 single mum to two 20+ lads. I used to craft and make jewellery but due to rheumatoid arthritis I had to stop. In 2020 when i was forced to stay home due to being immunosuppressive I was bored. One night having flash backs about the day I had to put my dog to sleep I started getting all these thoughts so wrote it down and it became my first freestyle poem and those words still come. I have my book simple poetry waiting to be published as an ebook on kobo and I am nearly finished with my second one simply poetry. I love horror movies especially zombie, I also believe in the spirit world and used to read tarot cards. I love dogs and have a Jack Russell called butch. more…
