In this vast
universe
Among seemingly
infinite space and distant stars
I am the living
Planet Earth
Revolving merrily
as family around my star, the Sun!
I have been living
for ages caring for millions
Mineral, oil,
gas deposits act like my organs!
My soil is fertile
to satisfy being of all forms
Plants, insects,
birds, and animals!
My oceans are
mechanisms for atmospheric balance
Ensuring a
predictable life support system immortal!
While most
sentient being respect my natural order
Humans need mining,
drilling, and logging, for life and culture!
But the entrepreneurial
ambitions for material gains of lust
Resembling my
existence as decapitated body parts!
So it is time
for humans to ask -
Is it alright to
siphon last drop of oil sheltered by the rock?
Is it alright
to clear cut and uproot old growth to log?
Is it alright
to extract metallic ores creating miles of holes?
Dont they
unitedly constitute their living abode?
It is time for
humans to understand -
Thousands of
years prepared my body for genetic evolution
Soon to be
hostile place to live for generations!
That time may be
running out to fix my scars from self healing
Making me slip/wobble
during daily spin
Producing
unpredictable day, night, and seasons!
If humans continue
drilling, logging, mining for greed
Transferring
earth around for quick profit
Induced
imbalance may soon affect axial inclination
Causing
enormous calamities leading to global devastations!
Depriving
world from solstices, equinoxes, and celebrations
Resulting in
permanent summer or winter in many regions
Triggering endless
migrations, wars, and annihilations!
Hope Earth Day
becomes a day of global consciousness
Respecting unison
with the spirit of peaceful coexistence!
