Earth Has Started To Breath
The horses of life are halted
Something, most certainly, world has never wanted
Humans are locked inside their houses
They are forced to give time to their spouses
Schools closed, Factories shut, ban on outings, and open markets
This version of life has surely been long disregarded
Beaches are taking long breaths
For they are getting rid of plastic and filths
Oceans are getting clearer
Apart from marine creatures, who seems cheerer?
Lions, deers, and bears have banished their fears
And roam freely on the land which was once theirs
For humans, staying in home is just like staying behind the bars
Meanwhile, Mother Earth has started to heal her scars
Ozone layer is recovering, Pollution level is decreasing
Instead of noise of automobiles & machines, birds are twittering
They fly freely without any fear of being caught
And Milky away can be seen clearly too for she has lifted all her veils, right!
Sun laughs loudly, Moon seems to have learnt new spells
I reckon we were and we are the virus of this mother Earth
Sky has finally responded to her call, though a bit late
But he is, with all his love, making her clean and green in haste
Human beings sob and cry, thousands have died and many are dying
But mother Earth is enjoying punching, in the face pollution and Global warming
Clouds sing louder than ever
Earth inebriated by the music, dance along her loyal friends
We surely didn't see that coming...
For pose a threat to her and her friends....
Would she not be happy without us...?
