E-arth, abode of life and heaven's glory <br /> Entangles an ardent call for humanity; <br /> A challenge that needs you and me <br /> For in our hands rest its life and destiny <br /> <br />A-ll that he had upon its verdant valleys <br /> Mystic mountains and natures tapestry <br /> Now withers with man's greed for money <br /> and undying desire to rape her beauty. <br /> <br />R-ivers, lakes and even its bellowing sea <br /> dwells toxic waste from our industry <br /> Poisoning its natural inhabitant instantly <br /> and softly killing us with much malady. <br /> <br />T-he air we breath daily is full of impurity <br /> from man's unstoppable polluting activity, <br /> smoke emissions from cars and industry <br /> and from other adverse effect of modernity <br /> <br />H-eaven's light spare us from catastrophe <br /> As nature's way of paying man's cruelty <br /> In exploiting her verdant breast and honey <br /> To behold more wealth, power and glory.<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/earth-s-call/
