Save Mother Earth Poem by Aarushi Chatterjee

SAVE MOTHER EARTH
When she was young, like a mother
She nurtured all mankind.
Gave us food, gave us water,
All the comforts that she could find.
Bloomed in trees, to give us shelter
Made for us clouds, to give us rain.
Grew us crops, with lasting soil,
Gave us blessed, sweet-scented rain.
Preserved for us, a rich blue sky
Lakes, mountains, ice-melted hills,
Gave us all Nature's beauties,
Flowers, rivers, butterflies with frills.
So beautiful she looked, green with trees
Sky full of birds, seas full of fish,
The kindest warmest mother of mankind
That all her children could ever wish.
But as she grew older, Man grew strong
Disregarded her affection, indulged in wrong.
Cut her trees, polluted the seas
Shot down the birds, shook off her pleas.
Filled her air with smoke,
Her land barren of green,
The Mother grew weak, old and lean.
She calls to her children, ,
Full of despair,
We are killing our mother
How can we dare?
Save dying Mother Earth
To her we must bow
She was there for us always
And we must save her,
Now.
