Mother Earth

Created by: Collective Encounters Adult Theatre for Social Change Group

Our Mother is called Earth She is round Loves her greens Drinks plenty of water And is full of life. She is growing Every day she births new life into the world Humans mistreat her Neglecting the life she gives us She has beauty and true worth We take her for granted.

What practical things can you do to look after our beautiful world?

This poem was inspired by “Mother Under Threat” by Levi Tafari. To find out more about the University of Liverpool’s research into literature and the environment visit the project webpages at https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/english/community/soundjourney/
