She gave us life, our mother
She gave us life's most precious seeds
She gave us warmth, our mother 
She nurtured all our needs

But how do we repay her 
We mock her every day 
We strip her bare with no remorse 
and glutton on her bounty with few kind words to say 

We scar her beauty constantly 
while frolicking in our mirth 
Leaving naught but disregard 
for our precious "Mother Earth" 

Its time we humbled before her 
and give her the respect she's due 
And to our precious Mother Earth forever-more be true

Peter Kelly
