50th Earth Day!

We are celebrating the 50th Earth Day, and this years theme is Climate Action, well, as the Earth is facing a major climate crisis. Let’s step up and join in the promise, do what we can to save the Earth. Here’s a little something I wrote for this day. 

Inheritance of The Earth

If we, the children of the meek,

should inherit an earth

whose rainforest lungs

breathe a trail of waste –

an earth where the ailing sea

shudders in its own slick

If we, the children of the meek,

should inherit an earth

where the grass goes nostalgic

at the mere mention of green

 and the sky looks out of its depth

when reminded of blue

If we, the children of the meek,

Should inherit an earth,

Where we buy packaged air,

And cold is just a forgotten word,

Where the water is not more than a sludgy liquid

And we forbid the very thought of its consumption.

If we, the children of the meek,

should inherit an earth,

where people no longer die

Of old age

But die, of climate change.

If we, the children of the meek,

Should inherit such an earth,

We ask you, the people,

Is this what you have left,

Besides money and gold?

Should we dance or frown,

At the news of our inheritance.

~Let’s do small things to help in the climate action, like planting trees, saving water, recycling e-waste, reducing carbon emissions, reusing different things; so that the future thank us rather than cursing us. Make your Climate Action Promise now and fulfill it with all your heart. Remember, a small deed goes a long way, and together we can save Mother Earth. Let’s vow to achieve complete restoration of the planet, and do our bit in the same. Save Earth! Save Life!
