Stop and Listen Me

Stop and Listen Me

O the dark face cloud! Stop and listen me
What should I do to make you happy?
O hovering wind! Stop and listen my kind confession
How would I say my Mother Earth’s grief?
What a shame! She cries not like before

O dearest Sun! Keep looking up at you
I could see your weeping on your face 
But your brightness became duskiness 
Who made yours ugly? 
Oh dear, man-made pollution?

O dear Moon! I heard your weeping while the world is sleeping
What a shame! 
Who is admiring your beauty while the village is snooty?
Go now and come again tomorrow
I’ll wait right here for your appearance
I’m sinned and have a confession

O running river! Droughts stop you to hear me?
Oh, No! Man’s flout ruined your life
Nobody here to solve the strife
Don’t cry, you don’t have a drop of tear to shed
But somebody needs to be kind with you
That’s me, I’m crying for you

Untiring oceans, animals, plants, and you 
O human! Your unknowingly committed sin
Global warming, famine, drought, and war
And the whole global is in unrest
Everyone has to respect Mother Earth

Plastic, toxic, pollution, burning fossil…
All the man created things work against him
It’s a Karma theory
Mother nature is unforgiving force
Treat her well, she would pardon you
The best to act now, the best you can do today
Don’t wait for a tomorrow, it would be too late.
