M. E.

I am here before your very being –

Beckoning you to see through hooded eyes.

I am here – beautiful and true –

Listening to you with sighs.

I was once beautiful,

Boundless and abundant.

Now I am slowly vanishing

Due to your being ignorant.

Oh, if you could have seen

How God fashioned me just so.

You’d gasp and be amazed

By the ME of long ago.

I am now lifeless and bare,

To restore ME with little rain.

Please! Please, if you hear!

Help cease the pain!

I am Nature and I am here!

Praying you’ll see and help ME!

For MOTHER NATURE starts and ends

With the letters M and E.
