We learned in APES (AP environmental science) that the axis of the earth was created by an asteroid hitting the earth and creating the tilt. That asteroid took a piece of the earth and mad the moon, orbiting the planet. The tilt of the earth then created seasons because of the different parts where the sun hits the earth. We have season because an asteroid hit the earth and became the moon.
I though this was such an interesting thing to have learned that I couldn't stop thinking about it. I haven't written in a while; I hope I get back in the habit. Here's my first poem of the new school year. Hope it's not too bad.
the world will never stop moving
never stop rotating on the axis
keeping the season coming and going.
the world will never stop changing
even in a moment when you think things will stay like this forever.
the world will never stop turning
the earth will never stop moving
the sea will never stop flowing.
the ground will never stop pushing.
the trees will never stop growing.
no matter what you do to our earth, it will never stop.
the people will never stop fighting.
the children will never stop crying.
we will never stop.
never stop loving
never stop living
we will never stop.
never stop fighting
never stop deciding
what to do with our environment
we will never stop.
never stop the pain
never stop the loss
we will never stop.
never stop trying
to change the elders views of the old ways
never stop showing
them the new ways to come
we will never stop believing in a better way.
Beautiful piece Kaia. I’m trying to do my share by gardening, composting, using less plastic, biking, walking, planting trees, reusing, repurposing, recycling and now fighting for progressive candidates who will mandate for environmental protections.
