Raging Fires

Raging Fires is a poem that describes the relationship between humans, specifically consumers, and Mother Earth. By exposing the effects of materialistic consumerism, whereby humans deplete Earth’s resources for their own profit, I hope to inspire the idea that we are given a choice: ignore the issue or fight against it. There is additionally a power dynamic at play; while many humans currently have a dictating role in our relationship with Mother Earth, all living things will also soon face the repercussions as our climate changes, our ecosystems shift, and our daily lives are affected. I desire to ignite a fire in my readers to advocate for our Earth by reminding them that climate change is an urgent issue and that our united involvement in implementing solutions is vital.
