Mother Earth Says She Is Tired


Mother Earth Says She Is Tired 


I heard a murmur and I was surprised
A sad voice solemnly whispering to my ears,
"I have been living for a long time here
No, not just one or two, four point five billion years

All of a sudden I came to realize
The words came from the sad mother earth
Oh! the earth was telling her story
And finally she uttered that she is so tired.

'I had lived without you for a long time here
It was a calm peaceful life I can memorize vaguely
You crushed  and squeezed me without any shame
Closed all the doors leading the way to live in harmony

You set fire to the greenery, all over the forests
You killed all  the birds and bees, oh!they are no more
You dumped  your poisonous dirty stuff to my clean waters
The blue waters is only a dream and cannot be seen any more

You dug and burned my fossil fuel making tons of gases
They covered the blue skies making hot atmospheres
The water levels rose in the seas, glaciers disappeared.
Polar bears lost their home are with  eyes full of tears

Now its time to vanish for me again to the space
A long time ago I was there as a cloud of cold dust
More and more disasters I think I don't want to face
Nothing will be  left here for me all are going to lost'

    1. Thank you Sir, for your comment. The things happening in the world as well as in this little Sri Lanka are very devastating.
