There was a planet that ran around the sun

Oh how great it was, she had much fun

Then she had children not many but some

Who chose to make plenty and more to come

They disagreed, fought, and impartially decided

That they  were crumbling apart and terribly divided

Bombs and missiles were recklessly launched

While leaves and bones were barbarically crunched

They poisoned her system with oil and trash

Cut out her hair not forgetting the lash

True but something would want you to ask

Would this be the deed they want to task

Polluted her air with smoke and ash

And took her Jewelry including the sash

So hurt and exposed did she feel

She couldn't believe that it was real

When problems arose form the center

She wanted to scream and end the banter

Tears were falling from the dark blue sky

The heavens opened for a universal cry

After the flow of grief and sadness

Comes a sudden steer of madness

Her eyes dilated and grew red

For humans all over to fear and dread

She shook and turned covered with mud

That made a wave then crashed to a flood

Her hair turned gray like strands of wire

Then struck the ground that created a fire

She blew and puffed a wind so strong

Lasted not short but very long

Though the clouds disappeared

The sun has come that everyone has feared

A lesson was learned by the human race

If you hurt or harm The lovely place

Trouble and tragedy will you face.

For so will you receive the grace

So it came to pass that they were okay

No more did they sin but worship and pray

Peace and love abounded around

Because the world was safe and sound
