Earth’s Doll House

A poem inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s playwright titled “A Doll’s House.”

Earth, you wear the housewife’s scar—
An uncanny expression; mirror of wrath.
Your flesh, disowned, cries for help, yet
The Sun will only spin around itself.

Your concepts; hand-me-downs,
And sacrifices disguised as love— 
Oh, silly Earth, have you forgotten…
That axis which you call your own?

All your life, boxed and caged;
Unsurprisingly clinging to marriage.
How silly of you, Earth, to forget—
Long gone is the Victorian Age.
