Earth is in tears

"because of us"

We, as humans,

Our lives cry; we kill,

and hate each other.

__

Our tribal ways are lost.

We forgot where we came from.

following our modern ways 

__

Going back is not easy.

Our mother earth is in tears.

just because of us.

__

The earth goes through

deforestation

because of us, humans.

__

Each and every time

We pollute our Mother Earth.

We don't respect her.

__

We put her in danger. 

through burning and cutting its trees

Why don't we save her?

__

Animals and insects

become homeless

just because of us.

__

Let us keep the wild forest active.

Let our mother earth remain green.

Her nature will favor us.

    I love this poem! We should encourage reforestation. Imagine engaging 1000 000 people to plant a tree in a day, that's already 1million trees planted!

    I love this poem. It's so true and real of our time. We really need to do something about the way we treat Mother Nature. Thank you for writing this.

  • Yeah immediately we need a plan to overcome this global issue but not sure about such a massive thing!

  • We humans should go extinct. That's the only way to save Mother Nature, lol. Loved your poem!
