Dear Mommy, Dear Daddy

Poetry about a child asking about the world

Dear mommy, Dear Daddy,
Who broke the Earth?
How come we now just
hate for all we're worth?
Why do we try and grind
others to the dirt?
Hide behind our walls
of anger and our hurt?
Can you please tell me,
Who broke the Earth?
Dear child,
I hate to admit this
But we're all at fault for the way
this place exists.
We've all shouted over the fence
at the one's we're told to hate
instead of greeting others with
a smile and a handshake.
We've all taken pleasure
in stabbing in the back
Those who vote or think differently
or just because of the place where they're at.
We've all taken glee in the policy of scorched Earth
We're all to blame,
We're the ones who broke the Earth.
