I am Earth (version 2.0)

I have some blue.
I have some green.
I have everything in between.
I am Earth.

The mountains show my age.
It's obvious that I am old.
I've got bumps at their peaks and wrinkles at their folds.
I am Earth.

My veins are the rivers.
My blood is what you drink,
It comes out from the kitchen sink.
I am Earth.

The oceans are my lungs,
Their tides – breathing in and breathing out.
They keep me running healthy, that’s what they’re all about.
I am Earth.

My sons are the Animals,
My daughters are the plants,
Jupitar and Venus are my closest aunts.
I am Earth.

You humans are the ticks.
Though for me you’re out of sight
You keep me up scratching all through the night.
I am Earth.

You’re not the only ones who live here.
I don’t belong to you.
My lungs, my blood, my mountains are for the rest of nature too.
I am Earth.

So stop your bitting dear humans.
Or I may up and die.
Then my daughters can never grow and my sons will never fly.
I am Earth.

I am Earth.
