Poem
Every passing day There is a cry of ‘Help!’ But the humans ignore it And sing and dance with mirth. The Mother Earth has shed her leaves But a deaf ear turn they to her pleas. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who bring down her hearth. On and on it goes The Mother Earth’s woes Angry at her children In the end, to Death she bows Oh, the Mother Earth’s woes Her very children become her foes. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who destroy her hearth. She sends waves and waves of blue after them She cracks their foundation, the ground. From overhead, she releases a torrent of winds From the cracked peaks, she unleashes that molten orange. Yet they refuse to put a stop On sweeping nature with that deadly mop. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who destroy her hearth. They shield themselves with wood and mud Get cozy in those houses of theirs Don’t give a thought to Mother Earth Don’t care if she loses her life They engineered this deadly strife They left their mother to wither and die. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who destroy her hearth. She gave birth to them, hoping they would be kind But they brought her down; to the damage they were blind. Throwing plastic into ponds Spilling oil into seas The poor fish noticed it And felt their hearts freeze. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who ruin her hearth. Soon, water shall cost a million gold As the Earth grows old and old Nature itself will cease to exist Should the Earth vanish into the mist. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who wreck her hearth. But fear not, still, It isn’t too late Patiently will the Mother Earth wait For her kin to save her from her dreadful fate. She will wait, she will wait And with her kin, peace will she make. Indeed it is the Mother Earth Crying out to those whom she gave birth Indeed it is the Mother Earth Pleading with those who damage her hearth.
