Yes, Mother Earth Is Healing Herself Again!
Rating: ★4.3
Mother Earth began to groan with pain;
With a billion wounds and bloody strains,
When she realised that her most brilliant child;
Has dismayed her might for his mischievous avarice,
Man, her most mighty child, hastily began to rise;
Ravaged her bounty and almost made her to die,
Fiercely trampled everything in his wake;
And Mother Earth's axis began to change,
Air, water, sky,
wind, soil and dune;
Afflicted and poisoned for his greed to rule,
As the Corona virus struck, spread, and evolved;
At once, the reckless greedy humans stopped,
Startled and spooked by a measly germ;
Cooped up in fear of existence and death,
Mother Earth is healing herself again!
All of a sudden, everything is changed!
Skies as clear as sparkling wine;
And the stars twinkle splendidly bright,
Air and Wind as soft as silk;
The seas and the rivers clear and clean,
Birds like angels,lifted into the air;
As if flying freely towards the heaven,
The world slowed down;
No toxic fumes around,
Yes, Mother Earth is healing herself again!
Yes, Mother Earth is healing herself again!
But we, the greedy beings, shall never learn;
Many will die, but we tend to forget,
Mother Earth will begin to choke ere long;
And shall again teach us lesson in due course!
