The Earth Poem by Bharati Nayak
The Earth
Oh, Earth
You are shedding
tears in silence
As you see
Your children
So apathetic
To the pains
Of your anguished heart.
You are stunned
By men's bizarre actions
Uncaring to your woes.
As you suffocate from
toxic effluents
Your skin burns from
poisonous chemicals
and nuclear radiation.
From your lap
go vanishing, the sweet streams
and heat of the scorching sun
kill your beauteous green.
Birds and animals die
As they lose their habitat
Sea rises, rivers flood,
Ice melts from snowy caps.
The foolish man
When will he realize
That his reckless actions
Ring the death knell
For this beautiful planet
Earth, our Mother Dear.
This love for our earth is really superb, any man with consciousness should be wakened by your sincere admonishment.
Isn't, it amazing that our fellow humans can treat the planet so badly and not tremble in fear at what they are doing? You and I tremeble in fear but they just count their profits. Your poem is a warning that must be heeded but do suchpeople read poems with any sympathy? Keep writing your poems of appeal, theere must be voices that speak for the earth.
A wonderful ode to earth! Thanks for sharing....top marks
The Earth is a poem close to my sentiments for the Mother Earth. The bountiful nature has bestowed so much for us, but what have we done in return? Only destroy, all the time. Yes Bharati, You are right! Man is so foolish! . Very well written poem with a significant message.10+++
Thank you Madam Dr. Radhakrishna Menon for your kind comment.Protection of earth's environment is a responsibility of every citizen as well as every nation.If nations are engaged in stockpiling nuclear and hydrogen bombs, chemical weapons, and when there are war cry on religious, ethnic or racial issue, when material comfort and technological advance are the parameters of development, what future is there for earth?
This well demonstrates the present plight of Mother Earth. It touches on all the atrocities man is callously inflicting on her! Sadly he doesn't realize that he is cutting the branch on which he sits. Beautiful poem carrying a great message, Bharati!
Poem with great environmental message that makes the readers sit up. (10)
