Breaking up with Mother Earth.

Have you ever heard of the stages in a relationship? Strangers, The chase, honeymoon, comfortable, tolerating, the downhill ending in the breakup. In the beginning,We were strangers. The Earth was this mysterious babe we saw walk into the pub, hitting it off by plucking the fruit of conversation and sowing a seed, the promise to call tomorrow. That night Humankind perved Mother Earths facebook, wanting to know everything. Her friends, her quirks. We got together with Earth and had our first date, lighting a fire under a moon filled with stars. Earth breathed on our neck rustling our hair with her touch, in the romance of that cool summers eve we popped the question. "Will you be my girlfriend?" In response the Earth screamed with joy and rained tears of happiness. For the first few thousand years we prospered together, grew with each other. Walked hand in hand along fields of tall grain and rivers of crystal waters. Mother Earth knew what we needed and we knew to give back what we borrowed. Than as passions were sated The mother and man fell into complacency. "What do you wanna do" she would ask, ever so slightly leaning on Mankind more and more as we relied on her less and less. "I dunno nothing I guess." In a relationship comfort isn't necessarily a bad thing we start to show exactly who we are and can grow or slip apart, unfortunately after the Earth told us her deepest secrets we used them digging deep into her heart to remove what can not be replaced. The earth fought back sending wind and tears in our face, erupting into ground shaking tantrums, all we did was push back not saying sorry...Why didn't we say sorry. The moon set on Mankind and in the Twilight looking up at the once start struck sky Mother Earth cried she held her mutilated body and stared red eyed into our own smog filled blindness and sobbed. "I can't do this anymore." Nodding understanding and ashamed we attempted to call her. Go back to what seemed normal. "Mankind don't you get it I'm breaking up with you" The phone clicks on our existence and Mother Earth is left to heal her wounds.
