GAIA
Faiz Shaikh
When a man brags about his love– claiming:
“She is more lovely than a summer’s day” I state
with greater pride: “Not so–” boasting: “Earth’s
beauty be greater, though it won’t stay.”
“Why–” says he “the sun shines the birds still fly.”
“No–” (quod I) “mankind be like a plague– a
Disease– polluting Earth’s sea, land and sky;
When was the last time you heard the blue jay?”
“But all’s not lost sir if you go outside–
Plant trees, go green, help to stop pollution–”
Say I with hope for Earth where we reside
“Don’t neglect the Eco Revolution.”
“Earth can be saved if we do not blunder;
Remember that Nature is our Mother.”
