"Mother Nature's Wrath" a poem by Asherah

I am a writer, poet, and mother who is passionate about people, animals, politics and our planet.  I wrote this poem two years ago as I struggled to comprehend what we are doing to the Earth...our home.  

Mother Nature’s Wrath  

by Asherah

As we continue down this path

We observe Mother Nature’s wrath.

Her body is ravaged

As we annihilate and damage

All that she is

All that she was

All that she could be.

We tear her apart

And rip open her heart.

We pollute her seas

Unable to breathe

She screams from beneath

And erupts.

Hurricanes explode

Earthquakes unfold

A site to behold.

Mother! Oh please!

We’ve got no where to flee.

Destined to be

Planetary refugees.
