A Poem For Class..

gentle earth
wrapped in an atmosphere of
iniquity, intent on destruction
gentle earth
clinging to wickedness brought forth
from human nature
gentle earth
wounded, afflicted by
sinful souls to stain your beauty
gentle earth
enveloped in the greatly despised
those who scorn their own
gentle earth
reveling in promised redemption after
the final breath of vile air drawn
...released
gentle earth
outlive what comes and takes without
giving back anything
gentle earth
stay constant, changeless, and
fall not for the evil which lies within you
for you, gentle earth
are separate from the world.
