We are all so hungry here

We are all so hungry here
I look at Earth
And it’s hard to see past the bloodthirsty smile and glowing eyes
Earth’s children are getting greedy again
Growing hungrier again and again and
they are a never ending starvation
I look at my house
I look at the empty space where my old tree used to be
I look at the ground
There are no fallen branches here
They have been replaced
by seeping blood coming out of newly rotten fruit
I look at my hands
They are red too
I look around
At my neighbor, my friends, the people i’ve always wanted to talk to
We are all wearing red
We are the ones that have killed Earth’s pride and beautiful gifts of auburn trees and soft fur for a game
Or a purse
Only beautiful in the eyes of our gluttony
And no matter how loud Earth’s wailing filled the air
She never stopped giving
Hoping her love will one day make us full
But we are a never ending starvation
Mother nature only wishes we could get full again
Yes. This is amazing. I appreciate this poetic flex
