She’s everyone’s mother and grandmother too
With not many siblings, but more than a few
She’s big and round and quite rotund
And is usually quiet with an occasional sound
She’s blessed us with her bounty
But warns us not be selfish
For if we’re not wise and prudent
Her life we will extinguish
No one knows her real age
But we do know her father
He’s extremely powerful and wealthy
And he has no sister and neither a brother
Her benefactor resides far, far away
Yet manages to visit her everyday
He shines his light from morning to night
But when the day is done, so is his stay
She has countless children that she nourishes
And with her gift, her offspring flourishes
But be wary, cautious and very careful
If not, heaven’s thunder will be more than an earful
She does have a problem that keeps on growing
So many children have been overwhelming
And if mankind’s greed decimates her wealth
Then woe to the man she unleashes her wrath
So take heed mankind and acknowledge your birth
If you’re not careful, you’ll kill Mother Earth
