\"\"<\/a>A Mother’s Fury<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Eden Shearer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mother will not stop yelling<\/p>\n

She is casting cyclones<\/p>\n

That are destroying precious lives<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She has become a home-wrecker<\/p>\n

Sowing the seeds<\/p>\n

Of volcanic eruptions<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She is angry<\/p>\n

Causing innocent feet<\/p>\n

To flee from their homes<\/p>\n

To run far away<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are too scared to look her in the eye<\/p>\n

So we keep running<\/p>\n

Hoping for grass that is greener on the other side<\/p>\n

Only to find that there is nothing left<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When will we learn<\/p>\n

To stop arguing with our Mother<\/p>\n

And to start implementing change?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is about time we cleaned up our mess<\/p>\n

And as they always say, Mother knows best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is too late to diffuse her temper completely<\/p>\n

But we can still use our actions<\/p>\n

To decelerate her intensity<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s turn mindlessness<\/p>\n

Into mindfulness<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh Mother Earth, we can hear you.<\/p>\n
