Earth Day,2008 Poem by Dr John Celes

Save planet earth;
Save earth from man;
Save all species,
Including man!

Man spills the oil
Upon the seas,
And kills the fish,
Birds, ruthlessly!

Man steals the shelf
Of coral reef,
And ruins grounds
Where fishes breed.

Man flattens hills,
Breaks mountains whole,
For granite stones:
So climes vary.

Man warms the earth
In many ways,
And makes the hole
In ozone sky.

Man shifts the weight
On earth’s surface,
By sky-scrapers:
And born are quakes

Man deforests
For farming lands;
Wild beasts come out
To eat his crops.

Man poaches beasts
For skin and bones,
And builds reserves
To save species.

Man sinks bore-wells
For raising crops,
And drought occurs
As trees are cut.

Man pollutes air
And water, soil;
Diseases come
New, unheard of.

Man makes genes too,
And clones some beasts;
But can’t breathe life
To things he makes.

Man kills his own
Through abortions,
And brags he does
For Eugenics.

Man wastes money
And resources,
While people starve
To death, in crowds.

Man spoils Nature
In many ways,
But takes not blame
For blunders made.

Man does most things
In stupid ways,
Quite hazardous
To human race.

Man acts like God
In every field
But cannot ape
The Maker’s feat.

Man boasts with pride
The things he makes;
Not one seems good
Like how God made.

Mother Nature
Has her balance;
Let man align
To her, sweet ways.

No man can beat
The Maker’s feat;
No creature can
Surpass the Lord!

Save planet earth;
Save earth from man;
Save all species,
Including man!
