A tiny speck in the vast cosmic framework
Planet Earth, the most beautiful of God's handiwork
Is the only known habitation to all creation
Graciously bequeathed to generation after generation
Poets sang paeans celebrating her charm
All creatures thrived knowing no harm
The songsters sang melodies from every tree
The beasts freely roamed the forests in glee
Earth that once shone in all her pristine glory
Has now become a dreary, desert territory
All her wealth is looted by man's endless greed
To stop this ravage, she does silently plead
We prey on her as on a corpse by a ravenous vulture
Hoarding wealth by all means has become our culture
We rape, we pillage and ooze out her blood
Suck her life sap to the point of casting her dead
Earth is now turned into a vast garbage can
Rising pollution dimming her original glean
To man and beast, it turns into a living hell
In all attentive ears falls her resounding knell
All creatures, move slowly to their doom
With rising carbon, soot and yellow fume
Many species face imminent extinction
And life moves fast to a critical junction
Know, only through Earth's hearty grace
Survival n' sustenance is possible for human race
‘Save Mother Earth'! ‘Don't leave her a grave yard'!
This is the soulful plea from a grieving bard.

Well said, Valsa. A soulful plea, indeed.
There is no doubt we are waste-mongers leaving a legacy of pollution to other generations. Every poem of this type is important.+++10
A poignant write, Valsa. We who are on the way out hope that future generations will ameliorate the destruction. One positive is the Earth has resilience and she needs it.++10
Man's avarice knows no bounds This, you have clearly expound While nature watch and bewail Man continue to assail And Nature's course to derail Thanks Valsa.

Yours indeed is a beautiful, meaningful, precious contribution to the poetry project - Planet Earth. Your writing is touchingly descriptive and the bard's deep anguish pours out through each word of the poem (10) .

A wonderful piece of writing. I'm glad to find it's part of an anthology. A powerful plea to the mankind to wake up before it's too late. What humans have been doing to earth demands a serious action to revert it. We have been too reckless. It's time to make amends. A beautiful n meaningful write. A10.
