She suffers; in silent surrender,
with hope there will be a time
her distructive child will realize
his abuse will cause her demise.
She has given her all...and then some
her stamina depleted; gone.
Grown fragile and disfigured from blows
by the hand of this 'superior' child.
Unable to replenish her resources
as the life force, her essence, ebbs.
She is our mother, the Earth, our future.
We are Human, the child, her end...
