A Poem by Kasey Claytor

The nature of the Earth
Is the nature of us
On the great body of the earth
We are its cells
Forever locked in a chain
Of interaction
Of which we sometimes
forget.
For in all our actions
The earth reacts
Just as we react
To the earthbody’s
condition
Our minds in mass
create the infections
Of war upon our planet
Out picturing our inner
problems, so then we
can see what we
have to solve
The earth holds our
feelings
And teaches us about them
And we’re shown what we know
and don’t know
