our world

Our World

This is not a day for clear sky and sun
This is not a day for jubilant spring
This is not a day for summer drizzle 
This is not a day for crisp snow
This is not a starlit night
This not a time for love and romance
This is a day of grief and mourning


She gave us a fertile world


What did we do?
We polluted her rivers and sea 
We stole her precocious minerals
We befouled her scented air
We lay waste to her forests and land
We killed the fauna
Worst of all, we stole her beauty
