Earth’s plea

It’s been a long journey around,
going day and night, round and round.
My family members are still as young as ever,
I smile at them and don’t ask for their favor.

I was the most beautiful of them all,
and was proud to always stand tall.
Everything was nice, beautiful and so green,
One needed to pinch oneself to remind it ain't a dream.

I used to be very helpful all the time,
was the best among the powerful Nine.
But one day danger seemed up on the sleeve,
when God sent on me - Adam and Eve.

Everyone warned that I will suffer,
but I ignored, considering them duffer.
I took a road that was less travelled,
with the hope that it will be marveled.

But it all started to change one day,
when man became mighty as they say.
He played mischief with me every now and while,
but I didn’t let go off my smile.

I gave signals and gave enough warnings,
but he was blind, couldn’t see my burnings.
I am still young and don’t want to see cries,
care for me a little, I don’t want to die.

Now they are eyeing my friend Shambhulal, for some place,
They call him Mars and want to see his face.
None of my friends will give any hopes,
they fear they might also get doped.

A day will come, things will change,
Men will relent and feel a little shame.
I will shine again and will shun all the fears
To show the people who think, Apocalypse is near.
