Gigantic waves and turquoise seas,
That’s what we call natural beauty.
From the highest mountains to the deepest seas,
She’s completely filled with mysteries.
Yet we treat her unfairly!
Although she’s been here before we came along,
We treat her like ‘SHE’ doesn’t belong.
She helps us grow,
Learn, and evolve.
Yet we choose high rise buildings
Over her natural BEAUTY et al.
Pesticides and chemicals are all we have given her,
Although she provides us with every inch of herself.
Have you ever watched the fishes in the river?
Have you captured that moment without your cellphones and cameras?
So savour each moment in the lap of Mother Earth;
Lest you have nothing to tell your grandchildren,
Before it gets destroyed by mankind’s selfishness and thirst for POWER.
