This Land

This land is now tired
It is saying you no longer respect me
It becomes very hot
It also becomes very cold
There are tornadoes occurring
The land is now angry
There are earthquakes
There are fires
And the water levels are changing
We have forgotten respect
The animals, the birds, the bees
are disappearing
The land is saying I am not well
Will we listen?
Or not?
Will we learn from this?
Or not?
The land is saying, “Take pity on me.”
