a letter to the children

Humans, dear children:

Hello!

My mother, my mother, I wrote this letter to you with great sadness. Although I am only 4.6 billion years old - just in middle age, but I have been extremely weak: I have no whole skin, suffering from anemia, tuberculosis, insomnia, and no treatment in time, I will leave you forever. Maybe you will be surprised to ask: "How many years have you been so sick?" Then listen to me from the beginning.

4.6 billion years ago, when I was born, I wore green clothes and blue skirts until I was born, and so did I. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and often loved to have some temper. Although you are afraid of me, you dare not tell me. So you painted some patterns called "totems" on my hands. You also built many temples and altars and begged me not to lose my temper. At that time, how awesome you were to your mother.

Later, when you grew up, you started to be less filial to your mother. Since you started the "industrial revolution," I have been unsettled. You tore my green clothes and expose me to the yellow skin; you dug a lot of holes in me, plunged into my body with thick needles, sucking my blood - oil, digging up my internal organs - Minerals, even worse, you have not sewed my wounds, let it flow with bright red blood; you constantly emit bad smells, so that my lungs are damaged, coughing all the time. At this time, your mother is very painful, but for the sake of the child, it doesn't matter if I suffer.

In the past ten years, you have all succeeded in your career, but you are still not satisfied and continue to destroy your mother. I don't have a complete dress now, so I have to shrink my body; my blood is drained, malnutrition, thin yellow skin; my lungs are about to be coughed by cough, breathing is difficult and dying. I have not slept in a stable state over the years. How many nights, I am so overwhelmed, it is the earthquake you feel; I am so tired and sweaty, this is the flood that you cursed repeatedly; I am so uncomfortable to pant, this is the fearful typhoon. Do you still don't understand, is this scourge caused by your filial piety?

Some of you have organized "NATO" and bombarded me. They also cast uranium bombs for thousands of years. Some of you refused to implement the "Kyoto Protocol" and endlessly emit greenhouse gases. I live in a smog all day long; you are cutting down the forest, polluting the ocean, your piles of rubbish, and the wars... I am disappointed with you.

Dear children, you only have one common mother. You should be filial to her and love her. She will also give you all selflessly to let you live a happy life.

Healthy body! Happy life!

Love your mother - the earth
