Our Changing Earth

Oh beautiful mother earth

You have seven sons

South & north America,

Europe, Africa, Antarctica

Asia and Australia

All with beautiful landscapes and oceans

Indian, Atlantic, Pacific ocean

Highrise mountain ranges

The Andies, The Rockies

The Urals, The Atlas

The Appalachain and Mighty Himmalays

You have beautiful flowing rivers

Amazon, nile, mississipi,Ganges, meckong, Indus

Yangizi, velog, yellow, Missouri

Tames, Eden, Severn, Trent

Congo, Zembezi, Niger

You have super nice Glaciers

Connes, Dana, Darwin, Goethe,

Akkum, Anna, Anuchin

Aneto , Monte, Picos, Posets

Baltoo, Batua, Biafo, Siachin, Godwin Austin

Spiny Forest, Madagascar.

Sikkim Pine Forests, India.

The Amazon Rainforest, South America.

Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont, USA.

Redwood National Park, USA.

Bellavista Cloudforest, Ecuador.

Caledonian Forest, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.

All that beauty has started diminishing

By un-natural process by industrial word

Adding pollution in the environment

With uncontrolled human growth

Creating natural disasters and diseases

A global warming is heading to destroy everything

Mountains, Oceans, Rivers, Forests

Crushing cities, villages, and animal sanctuaries

Every creature feels a threat,

Plants and trees are dying by industrial smoke and fog.

Oceans and seas are polluted by solid waste and oil seeps

Surface is polluted by underground mining and moss

Water table is raised by dams to destroy the agriculture lands

Acid rains and oozone layer is alarming threat

Untimely floods causing climate change

Millions of people suffer in their range

Destruction, destruction is everywhere

A chain of changes takes place

Covid 19, Dengue mosquito, malaria

All disease causing death of life

Working just as a silent knife

Oh my beautiful mother earth

You are facing a survival dearth

A dearth of health and prosperity

A Sweet sound environment

We need awareness for your safety

For climate change and security

Oh my beautiful mother earth

We beg your pardon, beg your pardon

For all that sins to spoil your face

From face to space and atmosphere

Humans, animals, plants and trees

Humans, animals, plants and trees

Humans, animals, plants and trees
