This Land Is...Our Land? by Charles J Hannan Doesn't the Earth bleed When being ripped apart While trees grow for many years Just to be a splinter of happiness The heavens cry acid rain And blows the wound with hurricane Minding it's business Keeping us afloat for evolution We multiply millions of times Growing and growing Without giving This land our gracious love Digging holes in shrinking space Filling up with economy Exploding precious materials Giving back in grey fumes Stop a moment Come down from your caterpillar Kiss the soil you stab And savor the taste of life 07/12/2003 Posted on 07/12/2003 Copyright © 2025 Charles J Hannan Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Anne Engelen on 07/12/03 at 05:14 PM What a gem this is!!!
