You are causing me deep pain
Have Injured me, exploited me
I have given since all eternity
All you ever needed you received from me.
I have provided light, water, sustenance
For a long time you maintained a balance
You cared for land and its cultivation
You took charge of my contributions
However, during the last century
What lies asleep in me
Has become Satan’s booty
Satan has taken control of you
Does he believe that I am his too
You drill for oil in a thousand locations
Pollute oceans, rivers and other places
Encircle me by day, by night, without end
Do you feel pride in your achievements
You are destroying precious habitation
You drive plants and animals to extinction
Those who warn, may meet with mockery
You are arrogant and greedy
Your disrespect is ruining me
Now is the time to send you signals
Which will hurt you, as well as me
The world will be in chaos,
I will move mountains, erupt volcanos
I will send tsunamis, flood the lands
I will bring heat and cold, rain and storms
And lightning, you have never known
No structures will be safe, they will come down
I beg you, stop your disastrous course
A warning: it can become much worse
Listen, Mankind, to what Earth tells you
You need her - she does not need you!
