Let's not loot our Mother Earth any more and any longer!
Who can be to us so generous a Benefactor?
Who can extend to us so much pure Love and free care?
Why are we then inexcusably so harsh and cruel towards Her?
It's high time, we stopped erasing the mountains of Her Wealth,
We ceased squeezing Her green Oxygen Cylinder's vital Health,
We stopped turning Her glass fields and croplands into dry deserts,
We ceased polluting the water bodies, and spoiling Her heavenly Resorts!
Unless we mend our ignominious and ominous ways,
We will perish faster than the most gigantic dinosaurs, by the Sun's scorching Rays!
We will vanish from the Earth's crust by the fierce and fulsome Floods,
We will disappear being beheaded by rushing Natural Disasters' inescapable Swords!
Thus, the ball is in our court, whether not to unduly take Nature for granted,
Else, we'll be razed from the Earth, as from a garden, the weeds unwanted!
