Mother Earth - 'You use me and abuse me'; Poem-Revisions

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Over and over again
You use me and abuse me

You rip out my insides
and guzzle my thick ebony blood.

You Drag your industrial claws
Over my delicate organic skin.

You construct your concrete towers
And destroy my vivacious forests

What makes you so special?
Don't you see?

You are not the sun
But rather a very small speck in time

You weren't always this way
Back when we first met

You've changed
For the worse

It will never be the same
Hope is running out

You think you own me
Like you are here forever
But it was just yesterday I met you

And tomorrow you will be gone.

Hmm, this is a great poem! I feel like an artist just asked me to touch up a painting.

The only thing I can come up with, is that you have sets of two lines, all the way to the end, and then there are three, then one. I would just make those two lines each.

Here is something to consider:

You drag your industrial claws
Over my delicate, organic skin.

above drag needs not be capitalized, and also:
Use a comma to separate 2 or more adjectives in a row.
