Answer 2

Explanation:

• The poem ‘I am the Land’ explains about the brutalities that the Earth has to face because of the greediness of the people. This poem talks about the perception of the Earth. The phrase “Car lot eyes” emphasizes that the earth is staring at the people using the light from the cars.
• Since the planet does not have light on its own, the author perceives that the Earth uses the light of the parked cars. Using those lights, the Earth seems to look at the people who fight with other countries due to selfishness and greediness.
