Here is a little poem I wrote a few months ago which I didn’t think much of until I shared it with a few friends who really enjoyed it. I’ve been reading Charles Eisenstein’s ground-breaking book Climate: A New Story which this poem perfectly aligns with (check out this talk for a summary of the key ideas). I hope you enjoy my first poem, it’s called Pachamama.
The earth is a living thing
And we are it’s organs
We are all but one being
Separation is the ultimate diversion
From the reality that cannot be seen
It can only be felt by immersion
The rainforests are our lungs
The rivers our arteries
The air and water is our blood
We poison to our collective misery
Nothing in this world can forever grow
Everything exists in cycles
Including our economic show
Hence our shared debacles
Our task is to learn from nature
And spread her ancient wisdom
Build a mutually thriving future
Rejoin the animal kingdom
