Mother Earth and Man
The sacred earth, the mother to all beings is
Sustaining countless creatures; since epochs
Without any unfairness what so ever known
Allows them to survive on their own strength.
Complex lives arose; then after a long time
Humans survived fittingly against many odds
Establishing themselves indisputably firm and
Putting forth their claim as masters; craftier.
Then they commenced their appalling act
Of steadily eliminating the hoarier beings
In their diabolical quest for their pleasure
Began causing hurt to dear Mother earth.
Her voiceless and the innocent offspring
Have now become feeble and vulnerable
Facing their extinction imminent speedily
Thanks to evil activities of mean humans.
Let not homo-sapiens claim exclusive title
For the earth, the universe, belongs to all
The good way of living on the sacred earth
Is gentleness towards all the beings around.
