Sitting in class,
observing the world around
Nature is losing splendor.

Once full of vivacity.
Green, Blue, Yellow
Colors of the Rainbow
Elements of Nature.

Sitting in class,
observing the world around.
Overrun with corruption
while looking outside,
into the forest; I see,
Blue tears fall from our mothers eyes.
Why does she hurt?

She is covered with scars!
Her once beautiful complexion
begins to fade: covered with pollutants.

Sitting in class,
observing the world around
Time is regaining the ice cold grip.

Mother is losing the struggle
What can anyone do
When cries of help
from our mother
Are Not Heard.

Sitting in class,
looking at mother: in pain
I begin to weep with her
when I find the truth.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Powerful message dhuron. Our mother is being poisoned by the very children she feeds and clothes. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Very good poem.

dhuron,

Very poignant. So sad what we do to Mother Earth. If we humans don't stop, one day she'll have nothing left. Very well written.

Good poem dhuron
We may ruin her for ourselves, but she will recover and survive even us.
