The Blue Planet

Jayasree

Somewhere along the way

compassion is lost

humanity ,empathy

buried deep down

never to surface,

wars raging on

people killing people.

Earth, our beautiful planet,

pillaged and plundered.

Our home

filled with everything dear,

slowly deteriorating

waste mountains springing up

dwarfing even the mightiest,

seas choking with debris.

The world slowly changing

The green valleys

giving way 

to rocky slopes

The forests slowly

disappearing,

mutilated and benumbed

 the animals, homeless

 dying one by one.

The sea crying silently

Its creatures 

choking and dying.

The Earth is changing

what we had is no more.

 wake up!

 before it's too late

care for our world

Our beautiful blue planet.

    Very true words Jayasree, we need to save our planet from its imminent destruction by homo sapiens.

    Good write J.
    Yes in places - all is OK, until man (mankind) comes along and messes it up.

  • dusk arising

    Until EVERYONE realises they must do their bit we are fighting a losing battle.
    We are one humanity, we have one home.
    It's about time EVERY religious movement through it's weight behind saving the home god created for us.

  • Saxon Crow

    This world is stronger than you know. Nature will always win in the end. The perspective should be that we are killing ourselves, not this beautiful world. Good poem though

  • Jayasree

    Yes, nature always wins in the end. That's what's happening now, the earth is healing, slowly. We human beings, foolish we are, thinks we are the masters. If each one of us took steps to nurture and love nature, the earth will be a beautiful place to live.
