DON'T BE THE ONE
The title to this royal castle
Will certainly be lost someday
But don’t be the one that would
Make the alienation happen
This dynasty, the royal lineage
Even if it sets a new record
That surpasses that of Yamato
Will definitely cease someday
But don’t be the one on the throne then
Don’t be the last king of
The highly revered bloodline
Less history will remember
How your failure to fight and win
The enemies your fathers fought
Cost the family and the kingdom
The throne they had secured
And protected with their lives
Or do you think they had it all smooth?
But beyond the throne
I say to you and to all:
The current ecosystem could collapse
With the ever rising industrialization
Ceaseless deforestation and worsening
Water, land and air pollution
But don’t be the generation
That will make it happen
So, I implore you all to say
With me every blessed day
Before the tireless sun rises:
'I will not hurt Mother Earth today
My word and action will always
Support the natural balance
That makes Her the one and only
Planet that supports life.'
When we all say this;
When we all do as we say
Mother Earth’s festering wound
Caused by her greedy children
Would heal perfectly with time
And the doomsday painted
In the works of the Cli-Fi writers
If ever it comes as painted
Will not happen in our time
Or in the days of our children
Who will learn from me and you
The need to take care of Mother Earth
To avert the dreadful doomsday
