How can I not weep?

A poem about what Mother Earth would say to us humans, if Earth could talk.

You ask me not to weep

But how can I

How can I not weep

When all you humans treat me so

You use me as you wish

Without thinking about what would happen to me

More importantly 

Without thinking about what would happen to you

How can I not weep

I cannot stop even if I want to

It is all because of your actions

Selfish acts to satisfy your material wants and needs

Over the years you have destroyed me slowly 

Without caring for me

Now I cannot stop weeping 

Even if I want to

You have to face the consequences

Humanity

This is my response to you
