Okay, listen up Earth People.
Stop blaming one country or another for this latest disaster.
Seven billion of you. Yeah, I feel you stomping, running, tapping, pounding, drilling, hacking, blasting… Seeking what? My heart? My soul? No.
It's all about greed. The shiny stuff: gold, silver, diamonds, emeralds, precious metals and precious stones. And of course, Oil.
I'm so tired of it all.
And when Mother Earth gets weary, she gives back as good as she gets.
Why do you think there are Volcanoes? Earthquakes? Oil spills? Cave-ins?
[Don't ask me about hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, droughts, floods, heat waves – talk to Mother Nature about those. She has a completely different agenda.]
See what I'm getting at? I have so many people-created drill holes and mine shafts it's a wonder I don't collapse like a punctured balloon.
How many toxic dumps have been created for the excess waste?
How many once pristine lakes and rivers have been fouled?
How many people can light candles whenever they turn on a faucet?
How much plastic has entered my ocean to be ingested by sea creatures and ultimately by you people? One day you're going to bleed plastic.
How about that air? You think it was always polluted and brown?
Think about it. How many cities are seeing a clear sky for the first time in years? How many urban rivers are enjoying a resurgence of fish and other river dwellers. Some rarely seen birds have returned to the cities.
I hear more bees and butterflies have been sighted, when both have been severely depleted these last few years. And what's this about wild animals reclaiming their turf? It's about time isn't it?
Maybe these animals, birds, insects etc. are all laughing, or at least smiling because so many Earth People are in a lockup situation, not unlike the zoos, cages, and aquariums that confined them for centuries.
So, all right, Mother Earth and Mother Nature are finally taking a breath. Or two. And sharing a chuckle. After all, isn't it true that those greedy oil producers are now paying out money [instead of raking it in] to get rid of their surplus "black gold"?
Isn't it ironic?

Someone speculated that a tablespoonful of tainted cosmic dust from a galaxy
far, far away swirled through space and spilled onto the earth, scattering Corona particles like a fine mist. Earthlings, having no immunity, picked up, or breathed in these particles and ran with them. Or I should say flew all over the world, scattering them to friends and enemies alike.
