Mother Earth
In the widely spread universe
Only the Earth is alive
And it has blessed you with life
And so many more, some you see
While some you even won’t believe
Yes, at start things for fine--- for Her and for you,
But then You started taking her for granted
For you, it was just an act of being alive
But she has lost her health and beauty
Because of the crummy things you sufficed
Look around, look close
What do you see
Poor Earth is crying
It was a heaven, once
Now it has become a hell
For her and for us all
And why should she not?
You see....
Streets are befouled
Waters are sullied
Forests are annihilated
Mountains are flattened
Listen to her cries... Look at her
You make her inhales hazardous substances
You make her drink poisonous liquids
And she is forced to eat plastic and lousy garbage
Ah Garbage, Garbage everywhere
On the roads, in the streets, in rivers, in woods,
In mountains, in water and on every end
You are killing her
You are suffocating her
You spoiled her sanctity
You snatched her beauty from her
Ahh mother Earth
We know are scum
You could have been really happy without us
But we have no other home to go
Forgive us
Don’t let us die a painful death
We will help you rise again...
You must breath freely again
