Holy land-Earth

God created a homeland
for human beings to end
their plight and settle safely
intending to live peacefully

greed made you blind
to find
enormous hidden wealth
and caused us death

you made us barren
turned hell from heaven
driven people away from their homeland
and made kiosk with the destructive trend

you not only vitiated pure air
blocked river water
added pollutants in fresh flow
and allowed to grow diseases

glaciers are melting
mountains are giving away
stones are leaving their original place
playing havoc for the human race

I am the holy earth for you to live
and believe regarding natural objects
you are facing natural fury
you shall fact extinction and carry the wrath
