Apology To The Earth

To our planet,
I know that you are in fact,
A planet, and you can't hear me.
But...
We have taken your oceans,
And filled them with trash, and oil.
We have taken your land,
And we have thrown garbage onto it.
We have taken your resources,
And then more,
And more,
And more.
We have taken your air,
And we have put chemicals,
Smoke,
Pollution into it.
We have taken your animals,
And killed them,
One way or another.
We have continually hurt you,
And taken from you.
And now,
When there is so much destruction,
I wonder,
Is it even possible to save you?
Or have we finally gone too far?
I am sorry.
To our planet,
I apologize.

    Evergreen sprigs line
    The path I took 
    Down the river
    And past the old saw mill

    Here birds sing in shrill cacophony
    And my heart beats in tune
    To each whistle

    Faster, faster
    My thick skinned feet sing

    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder what color your tears would be.
    if i were to die tonight,
    what flowers would you pick to remember me?
    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder how you'd remember me.
    you told me,
    once,
