Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii

My Poem of 2009-10 resubmitted for new members of Poetry Soup. Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii . Wake up before it is too late Wake up before the misdeeds with Nature Takes away with them, the best And the most beautifully nourished and preserved Our priceless and most precious wealth The ice from Mountains, Glaciers and poles, Water from the Rivers, Ponds and Lakes Trees from Mountains, Oxygen from Air Fishes and Dolphins, Blue Seals and Whales Deer’s from fields and Tigers from Jungle Birds from sky and animals from herds Fragrance from flowers, fruits from trees Koyal* and Nightingale to sing their melody And above every thing, all the Seasons from Earth Which inspires us to sing in joy And thrill us to write poetry or to make love Wake up O beautiful children of Nature Before it is too late Do not make plans to make roads up to Mount Everest peaks Let us Make plans how to save the snow peaks And our ever best friend plants and trees The Rivers and Ponds, Glaciers and Jheels* And above all let us also Try to save our greatest wealth the seven Seas And its innocent inhabitants Who has given us foods and pleasures Adventures, joys and thrills With the ever precious gift of Rains Which fills our Mother Earth with Water, Milk and grains Wake up O beautiful children of Nature, before it is too late Save our Rain forests, beautiful Glaciers and above all our climate Before the Nature itself starts the process of changing Without giving us the warning of its fury Which can destroy our very existence from This and this only place The Earth. Ravindra Kanpur India 9th December 2009 *Jheels ( A Hindi word means Lakes) *A singing bird of India like Nightingale Ravindra Kanpur/New Raipur India
