Oh! Mother Earth! Poem by Subbaraman N V

Oh! Beloved Mother Earth! Divine Mother Earth!
Thy benevolence make us live in joy and mirth.
Ever we are grateful to Thee for all thy patience
Embodiment of Patience indeed-not our passion!

We the mortals never fail-fail to pollute Thy face
Bereft of love and respect- not even a trace
Yet Thee, Divine Mother Earth hesitate to punish
The wrong and Thy motherly love provoke no anguish!

When the humans go beyond the limit, Thy face
Shows its anger through Earth Quake and volcanoes
Man to understand and repent which he never does
Oh! Mother Earth! Be kind enough to excuse the wrongs!

For all the sins we do to pollute Thee, Thy love
Divine love hurts us not, like the bird of peace the dove
Oh! The Lord of Creation of earth and heaven
Bless us with good sense to be good for ages seven!
