Mother Earth

I found this interesting article in one of the article I was going through. It did not have a name so I could not mention his/her name.

I am your mother Earth and I have to tell you that I'm tired of you, of your bombs, of your missiles - you're to loud.
See, I give you to drink. I give you to eat. But some of you even find a way to let others suffering hunger!
Since the day you've been born I attend you during your whole life and when you die I am your bed for you can rest in peace.
I'll still keep you in my memory when nothing remind anything of your being.
I carry you, I support you, I transport you, I am always there when you need me, I heel all your wounds.
If I would take away my cereal, my trees, my fruits, my oceans, where all the birds will sit and sing? where the horses will run? where would you paint the history of your glories, your great heroes, your victories, your miseries, your love, your hate?
What are you waiting for? To see my rivers running dry? Well, I know you, I hear the ones you've buried complaining about you. Have I ever depressed you with my gardens? Did I ever stress you with my perfumes? Go and lay to rest somewhere else. Do you want the sky? go ahead! Clime in the air and re-invent another existence, but out of my life. When I'm cereal you're burning me, when I'm water your polluting me, when I'm air you're contaminating me. You became arrogant and ignorant, your own pride has spoiled you. I cannot take it any longer. Is there some other people who could inhabit me? And respect me for what I am? Some other people who has open ears to listen to my voice when I'm talking? Who has eyes to see the signs of the time and react in harmony with me? Will you oblige me to destroy you? Now listen to my last words I'll have to tell you:
I AM THE EARTH, I AM WATER, I AM THE AIR, I AM FIRE, I AM WAITING PATIENTLY, YES I'M QUIET, UNTIL ONE DAY…DON'T BELIEVE YOU COULD SILENCE ME, IF YOU WON'T CHANGE, ON THAT DAY I'LL HAVE TO SILENCE YOU!
