love letter to mother earth

are we the monster you unleashed and cannot control
did you bring us to speed things up make it more exciting after all
before we came along
the world it moved at glacial pace
now even that means something different 
now glaciers are accelerating thanks to us 
how do you feel watching us fill you up with plastic junk that never decomposes 
you who have such perfect rhythm 
recycling built into your dna
trees 
born from earth and back to earth 
prey and predators evenly matched 
like the cheetah that can run at 60 miles an hour but only for 30 seconds 
so the gazelle has a chance 
do you sigh do you cry 
at how unfair we play
the glaciers cracking is that your heart breaking 
and the floods the floods
are those your tears
about what we are doing to your jewel in the galaxy 
in a blink of an eye
