Analysis of The distressed earth



Here comes the depression
Heat is increasing under earth of treeless soil.

Hello sunflowers!
Why are you so sad in the sunless sunshine?

Hello mulberry flowers
Why is the Cuckoos do not sing in the forest as before?

Hello human!
You are destroying all the trees in the name of development!

Hello Celestial chorister!
Are you going to sing only in heaven, for a while
come down to the earth, and resuscitate everyone with your melodious tunes.

Hello Helmsman!
By covering your mercy,
Rescue this humankind in this earth.
