Millions Of years have passed
With these eyes witnessed
Love, Conflict, Chaos
Peace and War.
I bore them all
Humans, non- humans
Equally share my heart
They owe me life, for I wore them in my womb
Millions of years have passed, my service isn’t gone
I can’t retire
My motion moves the Creation
I’ve taken this responsibility
To lead Life and EVOLUTION
As long as there’s Matter
Indeed! My power is immense
Unimaginable Strength and Endurance
On my soil, hope and death sow together
The death wounds my chest
But then I too need some rest
Mistakes, Failure, I have none
I do bear them, since I bear humans
My soul is pure, yet I behold the deeds impure
Love is my way but you offer me blood
Now, my skin absorbs both the seeds of love and blood
Should I quit? Alas! I wish I could
Unlike humans, I don’t forget my vows
To Live by Purpose, of Truthful Course
This is my service to God.
Submissive Compliant, accept garbage of skin and heart.
When my purpose is by-gone
Forsaking the sinners, I shall unite with Him
My sons and daughters, will forever be mine
Who sacrificed their lives for protecting mine
This divine merger, the others will seek
I am Earth. Could I Ask For Peace?
Beautiful train of thoughts, well articulated, nicely encapsulated and insightfully penned with conviction. A lovely poem on earth written with intensity. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
Hey buddy.. Thank for such warm welcoming words on my first post here. I am glad that it could serve the purpose of meeting hearts, why I had attempted to it. Thanks! I have read your poem on Mandela, comment posted there. Best wishes, Purnima

This poem very aptly portrays the condition of a war-ravaged earth. Very good work!
