Oh, Human beings! How deep is your sleep!
Fire is on your earthly home, it's burning
The existence of millions races are in weep
But blind we are in consumption, earning.
Don't we see the impact of climate changes--
The global warming, dry and cracks of land--
Death of rivers, seas, lakes of many ranges--
And the green house effect is all at expand--
Oh, Governments! Leaders! Politicians! All
The writers, poets, film-makers, directors,
Oh, Ambitious industrialists! Listen! The call
Of the environmentalists and predicators.
All, come out of your dreams and fantasy
And see the only home, the earth, is dying
From our folly deed of greed for ill-ecstasy
But it's not in consuming, but wisdom plying.
Oh! Writers and poets, do write the reasons
Of the earth's destruction, its consequences
Whether we shall survive with these visions
To satisfy our unlimited desires of senses.
Oh! Politicians and leaders, awake a little
From your deep sleep for power and post
And see around the world, the worst detail
If nothing remains here, whom you'll host.
Oh! Industrialists and businessmen, eye on
What the hell you have made to the earth!
In service less, greed much, your production,
Of useful less, garbage much, desire of birth.
Oh! Film-makers, directors, producers, heroes
You're the mirror, in which people watch themselves
Please leave fantasy, show how reality arrows
Our home is, but in danger that future generation elves.
Oh! All common men, kindly don't be insane
After your mad and dreadful deluxe dream
Of lust as must for pleasure, as it's dust and pain
In time, if not awaken, nothing remains but to scream.
Oh! All the human beings, playing various roles
Why don't we save the only stage, our green home
If we awake and extinguish not, the fire, survive no souls
As our home is on fire due to our infinite dreadful desires.
The target 'net zero' has been blindly crossed
In the race of power and pelf, victory and defeat
And by day, by disasters, we are being lost,
Into slow mass death of all species by heat.
Why don't we think it's only our responsibility
To hand over the earth to our future generation
Safe and worth living, with sense of creativity
But, in blind desires, we're only doing destruction.
Oh, All! Kindly listen this call of awareness
All of us, our kids, relatives, and all creatures
Are in the phase of sixth mass extinction, in wholeness
Due to our vile activities, causing climate changes.
Day by day, heat is hitting hard, unbearable
All the environmental system of the earth will devastate
Snow melts, velocity of earth changes, life... pitiable...
Due to climate change, deaths in high range, desolate.
So, it's an urgent call to all, the earth dwellers
Save the earth, the only home of our existence
Awake and desert the deadly desires, be
wisdom sellers
As it's the only way to save the humanity and its essence.

- Comment from author about the poem: The earth, our only one home, is on fire due to our vile activities in the chase of consumption for fulfilling our lusty, blind and deadly infinite desires in ignorance. So, we all need to awake, be aware and save the earth deserting our ego of fulfilling the useless longings of blind luxuries. And it's the most urgent thing to think of climate change and its impact, which is going to cause the 6th mass extinction.
