I discovered this poem for the first time on the Children's Archive, and I could listen to it over and over again, partly because of what it is about, and partly because of the way Breeze reads, infusing this quite serious poem with the rolling rhythms of traditional children's verse and the rise and fall of her Jamaican lilt. The last line comes as a bit of a wake-up call and makes you think about how the earth feels about us.

it needs a more vivid way of describing it. make the readers feel the poem. use the different sences to make the poem alive
