The Story of Crying Earth

Lives started after you,

You gave us pride and joy,

You created the love of nature for mankind,

Forests and mountains were built to fit the faunas

Lands and fields born to indicate life for the farmers.

We never forget, your creation of the Sun to light up the ground,

You are the Mother of every soul,

Which always keeps the surroundings peaceful and calm,

And, acclaimed as the noblest man who controls human lives.

But now, your leaves are dropping,

And your surface is soiled.

All because of irresponsible human intervention,

Resulting in the extinction of flora and fauna.

Trees have been chopped into pieces to make furniture,

Skies have been polluted by the evil gases from the factories,

All of your vital parts have been destroyed.

In the name banished for life of Homo sapiens.

You cried, the pitiful sounds of pain,

But nobody hears or cares,

No one acknowledges your presence.

And now,

You are losing your brilliance and glitter,

The sparkle in your eyes has come to an eternal end,

Your sweet rains are no longer to be seen or felt,

Your warmth will forever be gone,

Time has passed, and nobody can change that.
