Brother Earth

As salt is contained in the Earth, it also is contained in my blood.
We are blood brothers.
But despite the earth being 4.5 billion years old (NOT 6000!!!),
I am the older brother in this relationship,
For it is the older brother who strikes the younger,
                                                     
                                                       The bully,
                                The aggressor,
                                                                    The tyrant,

We destroy the earth,
Much as an older brother,
destroys his siblings innocence,
and after the harm is done,
salts the wound....
