The soil has been lied to so many, many times. She was always there to support everyone. To grow delicious food, support the beasts eating the grass that grew on her. They, in turn, gave her their poop, massages with their hooves, and the hair falling off their backs to make her rich again.
Rich enough to support all the little and big plants that were relying on her underground network of support to flourish.
But then came men who said that they knew better. They came with weapons to break her open, and all the little beings that were part of her had to die.
No more protection from the sun and the wind. They all died. For a hot second, the plants thought that was a good thing.
The little dying beings gave them food for the first season. But then, there was nothing. Nothing. But the slowly dying soil couldn't hold it together anymore.
Men got mad and madder and kept ripping her apart.
Then they told her that they had the magic to put on her and it would heal her. Help the plants she loved so much, and as a bonus, they were going to get an oh so harmless spray that only killed those plants that were harming her and that they didn't want to eat.
Lie!! Lies!!! Liars, Liars, pants of fires, All of you. Lying big fat lies.
Now, Soil has been blown everywhere winds can go. She is hurt beyond belief.
And men still do not understand!!
