Beating Like A Drum

 Our planet's living, breathing,
Her heart beating
Just like yours and mine...
As we struggle through day to day in this maze of life!
It's amazing to see our planet breathing
Like blood pumping through our veins
Flowing like a river
Like the oceans oscillating as if blood flowing through
Purifying its blood like kidneys
Extracting its impurities...our body's.
But our world's struggling
It's fighting for you for me
For a reason to go on living
For we humans are destroying our world!
Yes you and me...
Like bellows, it's breathing raspingly
Working hard breathing for you for me
Abusing-ly, we're poisoning the air it breathes
Taking for granted with each breath it takes
You can feel it's magnitude as it inhales deeply,
Raspingly exhaling like a breeze flowing through
I believe that our world will survive
But not necessarily me and you
If we care not for our world I wonder
If there will ever be life as we know it...
If our world falls from its axis!
There will be a to do...
Our world tumbling breaking up
Like a spinning wheel
It's rivers its oceans spilling out
Our worlds breaking up chasms falling through
A ray of sunshine, that's me aren't I!
But if we care not for our world
Our beautiful world that's breathing
It's heart beating, beating like a drum
Pumping oxygen so that you and I,
Can breathe too...smile emoticon
