My Earth
I once knew of a earth,
that was greener than grass,
that was as beautiful as the lily of the valley,
surely, it was an amazing place.
When I did saw that earth,
I was mesmerized by its beauty,
for it was nice,
and am always eager to go to that earth.
Just because of its beauty,
I told the lord, how eager I was,
to visit that planet,
and to live there.
I was given permission,
so I ran through the seven mountains,
Swam through the seventy seven seas,
and walked through the seven hundred and seventy seven hills.
Only for me to get to earth and find it messed up,
all the greens have began to rust,
and I saw human lives,
being wasted by his fellow men
But, the earth I did saw was green,
life was being treasured like diamond.
laughter of children,
was the world's delight.
But now, everything has changed.
O, how I weep,
As human destroys what God has bestowed to them.
I then bow my head, and weep silently
Please, listen to me, you children of Adam,
hearken unto my voice, yea children of Adam,
stop the struggles, end the war,
Lest we die through our hands.
