Mother Earth

Some say i was created in the heavens by a god
And that it only took him a span of 7 days to create me
As he carefully crafted the mold of marble blue body
With these large oceans 
And deep crevices, these elongated valleys
And ginormous mountains
I was beautiful 
A nature beautiful that could never be duplicated 
And nothing ever came close to my appearance
But i guess you don't see that
Anymore
See you were young when we had our first encounter
And just as young children 
You were fun back then
As you explored the wonders of my body
Playfully touching the my every curves
That outlined my unscathed  body 
We were both virgins
Not having a clue but i knew
That with every touched i climaxed
But i guess you out grew me
You grew tired of my nearly aged body
See you didn't know what to do with me in the beginning 
So i let you experiment with your half developed toys
And unclear intentions
Like you i didn't know any better
But i would have never had predicted that
The very same toys you used to build upon me 
Would end up being the very destruction of me 
And i am enraged
Furious at how much you mistreat me
I gave you everything
And still you continue to dig deep craters in me
Searching for what you think is gold
Something that you will never really find
Because its right here in front of your eyes
Just open them wide
And stop being so blind by you greed and it kills me
To know how unsatisfied you are with me
Its like i don't know you anymore
No amount of skyscrapers, fast car factory makers, concrete jungles will ever replace my original scenery
You turn to this destruction
When all you could really use are my nature resources
I swear there just the same 
And as i watch you search for your false perception of what you Call perfection you disgust me 
Some say that terrible twos are terrible too but 
Have you looked at yourself in the mirror yet 
This monstrosity has be constantly yearning at my soul
And i don't know if i can take it anymore
So i hinted to you with my thunders and dramatic quakes
But you just called them phenomenons
Which was the worse mistake you could ever make
See those where my cries
And you just blew them off almost nonchalantly
Which made my tears run longer
And i know you know what i am capable of 
Because i was the one that swept away those millions of homes
leaving millions alone and confused
And i was the one with my powerful winds  
That you could have used for energy 
So instead i cracked down your not so steady levies
leaving millions of children alone left to die with no one by their side to claim them
When will you ever learn
That the more you try to fight me
Will be the very destruction of you 
Because you are nothing but a pawn and i will always be playing you
You're in need of a change before
I
End
You
