I know I missed Earth Day on 22nd April but I really wanted to share this!
I noticed a crack in the Tarmac at the base of a lampost that I pass most days. The crack grew and then to my amazement a mushroom appeared! Tarmac rock hard and solid, mushroom soft , very soft.
Nature is so strong stronger than anything man made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I allow you to live here
I even allow you to think you are in charge.
You have mistreated me and now for you I fear.
I should of reined you in not let you run at large.
You have taken all my gifts and squandered them
My treasures are not infinite, so empty now I bleed.
You have raped me and burned my surface, caused mayhem,
I fear I cannot forever support you, listen it is your co operation I need.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to stop and listen to Mother Earth she is stronger than us and if we carry on in our selfish ways she desroy us all.
She may do it quickly and violently or slowly quietly just stop supporting us. Either way she will win because no matter what “man” thinks we are here because she allows us to be.

Not surprised at all that Mother Nature/Earth is angry and worried too, Sweet Willow, we’re an unknown faction, always doing things without thought for the consequences.. .. To the point words and photo, … hugs aplenty … xPenx

Amen. I love the poem. Makes me shake my head how we rape the earth and think it will always provide.
