Selfish

“A child fish asks mother fish, 'Mother, why cannot we live on the Earth?' Mother fish replied, 'Dear… it is not the place for fish, it is the place for selfish” ― Santosh Kalwar

Our Mother Earth who gave us birth is dying as we speak

Her soils consumed by our toxic fumes, our poisons make her weak.

Land, air and sea, above, below takes hits in all directions

Our dearest friend on whom life depends is invasive with infections

CO2 fracturing makes up for the lacking in oil and gas reductions

Richter scale measures the fault line pressures that come from increased productions 

Oil spills kill turtles, whales and seals while fossil fuel is still in the raw

As this fuel is spent, noxious fumes vent, and polar caps slowly thaw

The polar bear and penguins are the next ones on the list

of global warming, air polluted victim species to be missed

Algae loving jellies filling the nets of troller boats.

Run off nitrates causing the plumes and out to sea it floats

As trees come down, great forests die, and wildlife lose their home

Without their shelter, food source gone they’re left en masse to roam

In desperation risks are taken as hunger fuels their drive

Killing or to be killed is their natural instinct to survive

Million of children with bellies swollen, sad eyes and cracked lips

Undernourished bodies shake and shiver as starvation grips

Stench of human suffering hidden behind the power bases

Gods of war put power before those disillusioned faces

Will we ever correct the mistakes that gave this horror birth?

Will global unity happen and we make peace with Mother Earth.?

Between the small things we can do, and the problems big things bring

The universal danger across the globe is - we will do nothing!
