Rising Sun of Baoding

Mother Earth

- Sophia E. Valdez

 

The land is in a constant state of birth,

Giving life to all who live on Earth.

Our carelessness and fears

Have taken a toll over the years.

Her land is parched and scorched

As man continues to light the torch.

We continue a want of speed and ease,

All while our pesticides kill off our bees.

It's time to wake up and see Mother Earth's pain.

Humanity's selfishness is becoming insane.

Soon her cries will turn to gloom,

And man will cause its own doom.
