The Earth is dying.
But there’s no fixed date.
What ails our planet?
Reducing it to this state?
Man’s uncaring nefarious activities,
Releases the floodgate.
Smog, deforestation, acidification.
Is the once green planet’s fate.
Desertification, glacial melt,
Ozone depletion must abate.
Global warming and greenhouse gases
With carbon, methane and nitrate
Puff off smokers and 4-wheeled vehicles
The Earth through human-beings opiate.
Laced with acid, the raindrops
to the ground percolate
How much misdeeds of mankind
The Earth must tolerate?
Mountain wildflowers and orchids vanishes
The apple, onion and fish has no taste
Forest and wildlife threatened
Pests swarm at alarming rate.
Our ever increasing needs,
Didn’t Mother Earth satiate?
Hoping her children will learn to protect her
With patience she does for days and years await . . .
Let’s pledge to ebb such ramification,
Before it’s too late
For there’s no space for earthlings,
to be cradled in the womb of Earth’s mate.
Let’s make haste
Before the Earth asphyxiate.
Let not our future generation
Curse us with scorn and hate.
The future lies in today’s present
Who must revive, rejuvenate and regenerate.
Let’s pledge to recreate the natural flavor
Of our fast eroding climate.
