The Blue Pearl

 

Blue pearl swimming in space,

mother of all our children;

Sustainer of life in present and future

theater of all that’s been.

 

The ground beneath our feet,

with whom all roots take grip;

The source of all the elements,

and destination of all trips.

 

The oceans are so vast and deep,

yet are but puddles on her surface;

all life that swims, crawls or walks,

are moments in her vastness.

 

One would think that all would hold,

the earth as the most sacred;

Yet most are willing to pollute,

and rape the mother planet.

 

Earth we are, and we shall become,

and even though we are a cancer;

The earth will survive our scourge,

because we are not the answer.

 

And we will return no matter what,

all that is will come to past;

Except this mighty Earth of ours,

which most certainly will last.
