A Earth Story. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Prithu, the legendary emperor
The country then named Bharathavarsha
The greatness of king was proclaimed in texts
Who devoted his time for welfare of people
Of his dear subjects to be ruled in just means
To punish the guilty, save the noble ones
The poor ones, the hunger, and thirst
He made arrangements for all for a decent life
Then the earth in someway disobeyed
For its own reasons of existence she complained
Unable to do her duty the earth kept as barren
No seeds were grown, no rains came
The plight of people were miserable
They were silent themselves hoping to do by the Prithu
Promptly the emperor decided to punish the earth
And boasted to finish the earth itself
Then found the solution for genuine needs of earth
Then solved the problems of earth
There the countries were abundant in store of grain
Then the earth was fully green and flourished
The smiling faces of people were visible
When the king is just ways the people will walk with him
When he errs the people will revolt the story moral.
