Earth
By WhiteKnight

Earth,
Just a chunk of rock,
Circling the sun,
Not much fun.

Like so many other
Specs of dust,
I stop to wonder,
Is it just?
Just a chunk of rock
Off some big block?

Let’s look,
At the world,
As it cooks.
Will it ever be done?
Just dirt,
And rocks,
Water too.
Mud I tell you.

Wait what is that I see?
Coming from beside that rock,
Is it?
Could it be?
It is!
A tree.

Life!
I see!
The Earth is more,
Then just a tree.
It is home to you and me.

Do you dare?
To show you care,
For our home?

Do you love our home?
Where we roam?
Show you care,
Do your share,
Help clean our home.

I've seen such a tree, growing between two rocks, with its roots adheard around it. Holding steadfast, careful it must, but atleast it is cared for. Loved it.
