One Earth Poem by Ramesh T A

Hard earned freedom is spoiled by bad governance;
Promise of bringing river of milk and honey now
Never allows even water to flow due to drought!

Dried river beds have turned into plots for buildings
Completely effacing the imprint of precious rivers
Making blue gold a rare commodity to find forever!

Ice are melting on Arctic and Antarctic oceans now;
Pure drinking water is polluted, wasted and abused
Making the world dig hard for a dropp of water soon!

Even basic necessities are not provided by nations
Making world a play ground for wars of all kinds
Forgetting the fact there is only one Earth of all!

A small step on Moon may be a giant leap for mankind
But all planets cannot become one Earth in whole Universe!
