Speaking 4 The Planet
Performance Poetry: Winner Chloe Barnes, 7 Romero
Mother Earth
Your earth is my body.
My body is your earth.
The air that I breathe through my lungs makes me feel happy.
I feel alive.
My eyes are so sunny and bright.
My heart is so big! I love everything!
But that was long ago….
My heart, it’s melting.
My eyes are flooding with tears.
My lungs are being ripped apart.
I’m dying.
My life needs to be saved fast.
Unless...
I die.
Everything will be well,
Gone.
