As I gaze upon you, <br />From my heavenly dwelling, <br />All I seem to see, <br />Is the dark foretelling, <br />Your future covered in hate and misery <br />And <br />Your beauty covered in dust and savagery. <br /> <br />The poverty and the lies, <br />The greed and the flies, <br />The humans simply animals, <br />Slaughtering like cannibals. <br />Your rivers and oceans, <br />Filled with waste, <br />The air so grimy, <br />So terrible to taste. <br /> <br /> When shall it be? <br />When shall it be? <br />That you are you once again. <br />The greenery of your land, <br />The yellowness of your sand. <br />The whites of your skies, <br />And the end of the lies. <br />Your unforgettable beauty, <br />Lost <br />With humans forgetting their duty <br />Of taking care of the land they live on, <br />Forgetting hardships generations have forgone.<br /><br />Sashi Shrestha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-star-s-message/
