Earth
There’s stale air everywhere
Because of air pollution
The water bodies are all changing color
And not good for consumption
And all these due to human activities
Trees are being cut everyday
Without the intention of replacing them
Everywhere you look, there’s filth
Here and there all around you
There are volcanic eruptions occurring
In mountainous areas
Drivers causing deaths every now
And then
Because of their absent mindedness
And recklessness
All around the world people are
Being killed for rituals and the others
People are being slaughtered like
Goats for Christmas and others
Being buried alive like they would
Dead people
Human beings are being sold as though
They were goods for consumption
There are no longer natural leaves,
Crops and vegetables
All are being sprayed and
Are full of fertilizers
Forcing them to be ripe immaturely
These in turn are causing
Rapid illness and diseases
People are creating weapons and
Atomic bombs to kill their fellow men
Man now walks not freely but in fear
In fear of what his fellow man
Might do to him on seeing him
The world is full of racism
Some people are regarded inferior
And less important than the rest and hence,
Some people are being treated unfairly
When shall all these end?
When shall the earth be peaceful
And beautiful to live in?
