I am a Tree

I HAVE PROVIDED AIR

So you can breathe

I HAVE PROVIDED SHADE

So you can see

And escape the heat

Im a tree

I HAVE PROVIDED THE MATERIAL YOU NEEDED

To start to build your dreams

I HAVE BEEN CLEANING YOUR ATMOSPHERE

I HAVE CLEANSED YOUR WATER

I HAVE EVEN PROVIDED YOU SHELTER

When your lost without help.

I have given you life

while you selfishly take mine

And you continue 

To take and take from me 

And never give back

By hurting me

You hurt yourself

I CANT keep providing for you

If you dont care for me

It's true

That what you take 

I can replace for you

But never abuse your powers

For i can take from you too

I believe alot of people have forgotten that nature can take FAR more from US than we could ever take from IT. This planet has done and continues to do everything for us. It's time we show to our earth the same level of respect and care it has shown us since the moment this planet was formed. Without nature we wouldnt have medicine. We wouldnt have technology or any of the luxuries we have today. The relationships humans have with nature highlight the levels of interconnectivity the earth possesses. What we do to our planet, we do to ourselves. I believe humans are meant to be together and connected with their surroundings. It's the only reason we have stood the test of time. It is high time we give back what we take to clean up the mess we made. It will take time. It will test our patience and it will test our faith. But this planet needs to keep providing for us and we need to provide for it. We have to keep growing.

So lets grow. And lets grow together.
