Poem
The Mother Earth The fountain of your profound love Gushing out with presents and gifts Showering bounties, its treasure trove To all mankind your love drifts. Your rivers and seas, forests and fields Are full of provisions to banish hunger You do not relent to meet our needs You distinguish not between rich and poor Your hidden treasures are not clueless for us Your gold, silver, sapphires, diamonds And precious pearls invite us to transgress You serve us fruits, resins, cashews and almonds. We owe our strength and courage to you. Our bright eyes, our beauty and robust health Are all your gifts to be honest and true Your contribution is no less in amassing of wealth. Your dazzling days and darkness of nights Are skillfully designed for working and rest Your changing seasons innovation invites When dead our body enters your chest But thankless we are, we deface you with tar We cut your trees and raise jungles of concrete Our wastes poison your rivers, seas and air And thus havocs like tsunamis greet. You meet all my wishes and desires I want much more, I can’t shed temptations My closets filled with diamonds and sapphires And garments of every description and narrations You gave me dazzling youth and power To ease my travel there is petrol, coal and gas For my fields and gardens you gave shower Colorful flowers, bees, butterflies like dancing lass You gave me power, strength and courage To face tyrannies of anguish you made me bold and tough To confront life you gave me every advantage My body strong like hawk and heart filled with love I am lying on your grass spread like a rug My mother come, give me a hug Sintra, Portugal 6-12-2012
