I Am....

Folder: 
miscellaneous

I am necessary and I am always around

I wonder how you can abuse my ground

I hear the screw of Mother Earth

I see the pain when she got hurt

I want that you take care as her guard

I am Mother Earth's beating heart





I pretend that you like to have a future

I feel your love for wonderful nature

I touch the sky for cleaner air

I worry because we need air to share

I cry when crap have taken her part

I am Mother Earth's beating heart





I understand the progress of life

I say its worth for you to strife

I dream of nature clean and pure

I try to give your world a future

I hope that you'll give me that award

I am Mother Earth's beating heart

"I pretend that you like to have a future I feel your love for wonderful nature... "I dream of nature clean and pure I try to give your world a future I hope that you'll give me that award I am Mother Earth's beating heart" Stirring lines, Charisma! "I Am" defines in clear terms, the truth of our earthly predicament and careless drestruction of our sustaining, natural environment. And, sadly, I am afraid that if we continue like this, we'll also end up destroying ourselves no matter how stupendously knowledgeable we thin we are. But then, the truth is that there is a big difference between wisdom and knowledge. And considering oour blatant destruction of Mother Earth, I strongly believe humanity lacks the former. "I am necessary and I am always around.." echoes mother nature! Those who have ear, let them hear the truth of: "I Am...." Ugonna
