Save My Earth

In the haze of big bang,took a planet birth,                                                                                                                                    Blue was her religion,green was her culture.
Clean was the soil,fresh was the air,
No sight of trouble,the days seemed clear   
                                                                                
Then came up a specie centuries after.
Man was the title,soil was his origin.
The lonely lands stayed no longer bare,
"Bless you oh human",was the earth's sweet prayer.

They shared days and nights,
The earth nurtured man;strengthened him up.
She gave everything,keeping nothing in share,
It was a bond of love,it was a bond of care.
                                                       
The Tables would turn once in a while.
Earth kept changing its shape with years passing by.
But Man was busy enough to focus elsewhere,
Earth didn't complain but felt a little bizaare.   
                                                              
The Time kept changing its phases,
So did the man's attitude and motives
Lost was the bond between earth and him somewhere,
Left was no emotion and nothing to hear. 
                                                                  
Civilized was what man was becoming,
He wasn't just blood and flesh but brains.
Even he would try to get earth ensnare, 
Earth was now furious and it was no funfair. 
                                                                
The present era is the man's triumph.
He exploits earth till he gets his soul fed. 
Poor Earth has no control over her despair,
and by god,oh man,she wouldn't spare.

Man has tested her patience and calm.
It was a dangerous game to play with earth.
He distroyed her to become a multimillionaire,
'She ll take revenge'is now his biggest fear.
                                                             
Wake up oh man from the dreams of heaven.
Stop finding other homes when u Dont repair yours.
Save my earth,is what's your dare,
Before she tears apart and turns into a hellish nightmare.
