Do Not Get It Twisted, Confused, Disorientated, For Your Common Good!

I sincerely thank the first Pub I joined. They have carefully crafted writing clues that can stimulate the necessary thinking on multiple life topics.

We are humanity,

All of us,

In all our shades,

We are of the human kingdom,

In Reality,

We are but just one of otherwise multiple monarchies,

We are nature,

We are natural,

We are sentient,

We are very much aware of our ties to the bigger world,

Since,

We are subjects of earth,

All governed by our mother,

She: Mother Earth, who reigns supreme and eternal,

I know we migrate earth at varying speeds, consciousness, and humility,

Nonetheless,

As a family or,

As the human race,

All of our footprints are archived as crafted “by the humans,”

So,

Do not get it twisted,

We all have caused dire situations like:

“[….]A large amount of water containing arsenic has been found. Hence, China’s high rates of liver, stomach and oesophagal cancer have been linked to water pollution.” — Caijing

Do you See?

We sabotage ourselves and our surroundings,

With small children drinking harmful water,

None of us may successfully plead innocence in our collective criminal case for harming nature,

Scientists call our offence environmental degradation,

The issue is this,

None of nature asks us, on our hikes,

To waits and answers whether,

We are friends of the environment,

Instead,

At our presence,

The earth experiences flashbacks, PTDS,

Yes,

When waterways see humans,

The emotional reactions are varied tremblings,

When vegetations see us,

We personify deforestations and all other crap we have caused that part of nature,

So,

My fellow humans,

Are you also seeing us as a collective?

Are we all thus accountable in our oneness,

Better yet,

Might we be the change needed for future generations across all of Mother Nature’s offspring?

What will you do to change your habits? — “talk, move and love with purpose.” Diana C.
