A Cause of Fright
On the canvas of primal beauty, our planet blue,
a unique dot of singularity in the cosmos infinite,
the earth strives to maintain the pristine astral hue.
In the realm of splendor unspoilt nature’s entities grew
in harmony with tenets of stable innate equilibrium right,
on the canvas of primal beauty, our planet blue.
On evolution trail man arrived turning a hostile species new,
exploits resources crossing sustainability rubicorn, not right,
the earth strives to maintain the pristine astral hue.
The swarm of ingesting insect called progress creeps through,
devours the green forest cover going fast out of sight,
on the canvas of primal beauty, our planet blue.
Toxic greenhouse gases are slowly brewing in the milieu,
global warming situation is posing extreme climatic plight,
the earth strives to maintain the pristine astral hue.
Glaciers and ice sheets melt, groundwater is depleting too,
the steady rise of sea-level scenario is the cause of fright.
On the canvas of primal beauty, our planet blue,
the earth strives to maintain the pristine astral hue.
