got this from the book by Louise Cooper entitled "Nemesis"...just want to share it...

-Then did the Earth our Mother cry out, for her children had been moved to great evil against her...They stripped her beauty from her flesh, then they devoured even her very flesh, until she was a thing of bare bone...she wept for her wounds that would not heal, and she cried for her children to restore to her that which they had stolen; but her children heard her not.Her children laughed and sang and told tales of their own prowess, and in their boastful revels they heard not the cries of the Earth our Mother.-

hmm...did it make sense?^^
