A Letter to Mother Nature- A Poem

I should have stayed and fought for you 

I pledge allegiance 

Watered the flowers you gave me too,

                                                            To the flag 

Listened close to your favorite song

                                                      Of the United States of America 

The birds have stopped humming, all along 

                                                    And to the republic

I should have stayed to heal your scars

                                                    For which it stand

Healed the oceans, healed the stars, 

                                                    One nation

Protected your forests as they burned

                                                   Undergod  

From your lessons I should have learned 

                                               Indivisible 

I will begin to feel it at night 

                                              With liberty 

Suffocation, in absence of light

                                          And justice for all

I saluted flags in the sky,

While oceans drained, while forests died.

I pledge of allegiance, not just to man,

But to the rivers, mountains, sea, and land.
