1. THE FURY OF THE MOTHER EARTH (Reader’s Theater Piece)
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. God filled the earth with everything man
might need. God made one beautiful earth where man can live happily and contentedly. He made man
not only to enjoy but also to look after His creation…ME..Your MOTHER EARTH.
But what have you done, oh, man? Look at my mountains! They are bald! My trees are gone! You cut
down my trees but you don’t even care to replace them. The birds lost their homes. The animals have
no place to rest. Now, you must pay! When heavy rains fall, I’ll give you floods! Ha! Ha! Ha!.. Floods will
carry away your homes, floods that will destroy your crops, floods that will kill you! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Look at my rivers. Where are the fishes? They have been poisoned by all kinds of garbage you dump into
the rivers and waters. So dirty, so smelly, and an eyesore. You throw garbage everywhere, even in
canals. When rain comes.. Ha! Ha! Ha! I’ll give you floods and epidemics!
You do not even spare my beautiful fishes that are hiding under the corals in the sea. You blast the
precious corals, homes of my fishes because you want my high paying gold fishes. You use dynamite in
fishing, killing even the smallest and the fertile ones. Ha! Ha! Ha!
But most of all, you have forgotten your Creator.. our Creator. You worship and venerate the created
instead of the One who created you. You are proud and full of lust. You cheat, you rob, you rape, and
you kill! You live a sinful life! You make me so furious! So I shake my foundations to give you
earthquakes that will destroy your homes, your buildings, roads, and bridges! In my fury, I would erupt
my volcanoes killing you with burning stones and lava! Ha! Ha! Ha! I will destroy your fields, your
communities! And I will never stop my fury! Ha! Ha! Ha!
