Tired Earth


Is the Earth tired?
Is that why she shakes?
Sending out tremors… sending out quakes?
Or is the Earth tired
Of the mess that man makes?
Constantly wrecking; making mistakes…
If the Earth’s tired
Then what can we do?
Make sure she’s comfortable…
I would; would you?

    I think she is sooo tired. And needs a long rest from mankind.

      I agree, Jo. Even just for a day, a rest will be good for her!

      Sadly, we need her, Tess. We should treat her a little better though…

    I am sure she is exhausted after all we’ve inflicted upon her back….So sad. The best we can do is respect our own spaces and take of them. Allow that space to flourish and blossom…Be good to the earth, she is all we have….VK 🙂

      That we can, VK. Small steps in our own spaces will start to make a difference!

      Thanks again, Sue. You’re right… I sometimes catch glimpses of us acting like parasites scuttling around the Earth’s surface. I get odd thoughts popping into my mind every now and then!
