Needs Are Different.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Needs Are Different..

Rating: 5.0


What I want from you is, only the love,
To call me dear, when my health is shattered,
I am an unpaid servant at your disposal,
Responsible house keeper to sweep and mop,
Wash away the stain from the green carpet,
Settle the smoke and dust for you to breathe,
Filter the water for you all to drink and grow,
Disinfectant salt water in the oceanic sink,
I always work to keep you all clean,
I always cook to keep you all fed,
I am a watch dog to keep your home safe,
Blowing cool fans and refrigerated poles,
I can conserve myself, if you don't disturb,
Heavy medical bills, when I am devoid of love,
Don't show your gratitude saying thank you,
Echo thousands times that you all love me,
I am your mother,
I am your mother earth.

This is a lovely poem! The earnest plea of the ailing mother Earth contantly tormented and persecuted by her ungrateful children is to be paid heed to! !
