Earth is rotating on its own axis!

Revolving at thirty kilometres per second velocity!

Around our Sun seemingly glowing eternally!

One rotation makes a day we all cherish!

Passing through deep space staying on path relentlessly!

Bringing us in dawn, morning, noon, twilight and evening!

 

Eight other planets moving around the Sun together!

Almost in the same plane inside Sun’s celestial sphere!

As delicate orbital path maintains distance from each other!

Along the circumference of nearly 940 million kilometres!

Asteroid belt is just additional set of bodies to care!

 

Sun is rotating on own axis maintaining dynamic equilibrium!

Revolving around Galactic centre along with billions of stars!

Drifting through intergalactic space in a second 220 kilometres!

Traversing 200 million light years as solar year!

 

As Earth moves around the Sun!

Vernal and autumnal equinox bring spring and autumn!

Solstices take us through winter and summer!

Driving a careful revolution around the Sun!

Still safe, unharmed, intact, and a place for fun!

Certainly the best reason to celebrate with open arms!

Ignoring petty conflicts, ignorant supremacist scars!

Let us celebrate New Year with universal cheers!
