Earth Mother
I
am Earth
Mother to all
All life is bound to me
As I give life to all.
You
feed from my breasts
And never care how much you take
You burn my body
But never hear me cry.
You
take and never give
How long can this go on?
For I have feelings
Must I always be hurt?
Will
you forever use me?
Ignore me?
Rape my body?
And never love me?
You
may not care for me
But when your time has come
You will sleep inside my womb
And you will become a part of me.
Gordon Jackson
