By Maryam Fatima
Why did I give birth?
might be the thought of the Earth.
We call it our Mother,
yet behave like there exists another.
With unabating selfishness, together,
towards our own end, we are moving further.
Enough it has cried,
perhaps why the water bodies have dried.
Man's recklessness has stopped the rain,
regretting now is in vain.
After all, when you drain,
there has never been any gain.
To avoid this pain, time and again,
we were asked to abstain.
The Sun is scorching,
but our attitude remains unflinching.
When it had begun,
the warning about Global Warming,
Why weren't we reforming?
If we have to strive, she needs to thrive.
If she withers, with her, we will also wither.
If you don't want to perish,
you will have to let the Planet flourish,
for it, cherish and nourish it.
"How much are we leaving for the next generation?"
is the question.
The need of the hour is conservation,
for it, what is necessary is reformation.
After all, nature has enough to fulfill every man's need,
but not every man's greed.
