Dear World

You seem to be spinning out of control. Why we humans aren't flying off of you like the drops of water off of a wet dog as he shakes is amazing to me. We, people in general, deserve to be spun off. Flicked away like a nuisance fly or swatted like a blood-sucking mosquito that is sucking the life out of you. Why do we take from you and take from you and not take care of you? And yet, Dear Earth, you hold us tenderly as if we are a beautiful butterfly. You must surely recognize that as individuals we are often good and kind yet weak and perhaps innocent in our thoughtlessness. Are you trying to wake us up?
