Chapters 1-10- Love Letter- Letter [C]- From Joad to the land

My Beloved Mother Earth:
Dear My Beloved,
      Words can' express how much I absolutely adore and admire you. I feel like I can always be myself  when you are near. I feel so in sync with you and I believe that we are one in the same. You are so kind, beautiful, and  have always been good to me. You are the blood in my veins, the thoughts in my mind, and the breath in my lungs. The first day I say you, I felt an instant connection. Your hard surface, at first, was an interesting challenge to beat but after a while I managed to see the real you. The real lush and natural you. I saw green seas of grass and grand mountains  and I knew you were the one.  After a bit, I found out that there was more to you than what was on the surface. I saw your deep roots connecting you to the earth and the community. I saw the way you constantly nurtured others in your rich blanket of soil. I saw the liquid gold you kept safe for the people who needed it. You are the one constant in my life and I can't imagine a world without you. This is why I feel so ashamed because I am not able to help you in your time of need. You have provided everything for us folk. A home, sustenance, and water, but now that you need me, I can't do a thing about it. It's you and me against the world and were losing. The millions of people who once admired your grandeur and appreciated what you provided, are now selfishly turning against you. The hold their "penes erected in the foundry orgasms set by gears, raping methodically, raping without passion"(Steinbeck 36). They're also performing "surgery"(36) with "blades"(36) without consent. You're being filled with lines of cotton and are left with no one to touch your seeds or lend you their warmth. Now your surface is all "crusted"(Steinbeck 1) and you're "dusted down"(Steinbeck 1). You're being ravished by the people you once helped and are becoming weak. If I could, I would bring the rain to your land and defeat the wind threatening to whisk you away from me. But alas, I am only a man and it is only a wish. Please forgive me for my inability to end your pain and suffering. Just know that you will always be beautiful in my eyes and I will never let you go without a shoulder to cry on. 
With love,
Joad <3
