Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth I of 2
My Poem of 2010 on Poetry Soup "Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth 1"
was a warning for the world leaders to stop playing with Nature. I am resubmitting it for my Poetry Soup friends of 2025.
.
Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth 1
.
Wake up O, inhabitants of this earth,
The darling children of Almighty God,
You may be living in any region, country or state,
In any land, Buildings, farm house or on a river bank,
On hill tops, on plateaus, in plains or in deserts without rains,
Or you may be living in the remains of a green valley,
On in any of human’s most dear concrete jungle homes,
Or may be in the icy Greenland.
.
Wake up O, the inhabitants of this earth,
O’ darling children of Almighty God,
We are in the process of eliminating,
Our four billion years old dwelling venue,
In around four hundred years only.
.
The Earth was built and filled by Nature,
By the labor and patience of many million years,
What great miracles we have done on Earth,
In just four hundred years only.
.
We have stolen the God given treasures of Earth,
And have destroyed the most precious among the gems,
Its peace, quietness and tranquility,
Replaced by wars, explosions, noises, unrest and anxiety,
And have damaged beyond immediate repairs,
The priceless God given shield of Ozone,
Which hangs much above the earth in the sky,
And has protected us as a Savior like God,
But destroyed by humans like,
fools destroying its own Paradise.
.
But what humans have done to our most beloved Earth,
In the last one hundred years is the real threat,
To all the darling children of Mother Nature,
Dear to us as Air, Water and Earth,
They are in the danger of global warming,
Which is the result of the misuse of knowledge,
And blindly exploiting the Air and Water and Earth,
To meet our never ending needs, luxuries and whims.
...to be concluded in Part 2
