What once was present, is now history,

Such is the state of the earth in the present century!

No one cares for the rising pollution and atmosphere,

Riding on a car, each of them goes everywhere.

Summers are hotter, winters warm,

We’ve still got men who say –

A little rise in temperature is no harm!

Just look what a change it has brought –

Almost every year faces a drought.

The glaciers are melted and the seas drowned –

Many creatures in it – lost and are not found.

Cyclones are frequent and floods normal,

They talk of change but it’s only formal.

The blanket is over, the ozone gone.

It cannot be reversed, it can’t be undone!

Let’s now take a stand,

And join hand with hand –

To save our Mother Earth,

And with it – future’s birth!
