Heal the Ailing Earth

Terrestrial riches galore
eternally stored 
niche 
by niche
in the crust casket-

the womb 
the earth conceives 
bearing bread,
habitation 
and fresh air

she holds a cornucopia 
of resources
to breed and feed
her kids
nature her sentinel

Mother takes care
of all;
now time for us
to nurse to heal her-
the ailing Earth
