MOTHER EARTH <br /> <br />You trampled on me with your thorny shoes, <br />You made me go through various woes. <br />Your sheer carelessness deteriorated me, <br />Echoes of peace, fragrance of flowers, animals I can’t see. <br />I accepted you when you were traipsing, <br />Your iniquitous attitude set me blazing. <br />I cried, lamented and yelled, <br />But who heard me except the hell? <br />I enraptured you when you went through travail, <br />But you entangled me in a bar that availed no bail. <br />You finagled me and my possessions, <br />And led me to a way of destruction. <br />You compelled me to go through sword of Damocles, <br />Blood flowed on me like rills. <br />Don’t forget, I am your mother earth, <br />Shalom-be the new word I hear and not the hearth. <br />Don’t forget, I am your true shelter, <br />Turn swords into ploughshares. <br />I am the one you once festooned, <br />I am the one who has been doomed. <br />You grew flowers, trees and planted saplings, <br />But you are the one whop destroyed earthlings. <br />May god preclude you from this; I keep my crossed fingers, <br />You have created doom-laden happenings. <br />Don’t forget, I am your true earth, <br />Who nurtured you till maturity from earth. <br />You came to my lap when our kinsmen left you, <br />And I calmed you when you were enraged by your foe. <br />But your callousness has brought my doomsday, <br />Enrapturing and mesmerizing nature has lost her heydays. <br /> <br /> <br />NEHA SHARMA<br /><br />neha sharma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-earth-25/
