A day set apart in the world calendar,
In honour of the great good Earth,
Is aptly in keeping with the need of time,
And a wisely thought of gesture.
It's time for us to owe allegiance,
To this benign, silent benefactor,
Express our gratitude and concern,
Just we do to our own dear mother.
A day not only to observe as a ritual,
But pledge ourselves to safeguard her,
From the threat of rampant destruction,
Caused by man's insatiable greed.
High time we acted in earnest
As hers and our lots are but interlinked,
Let us stop plundering her further,
Or we hasten our own sad end.
She is not merely soil and sand,
. But a spirit with rare virtues,
Endless patience and kindness,
Beauty, grace and elegance.
No less adorable than a mother,
That gives us birth and brings up,
Allows to grow and play in her lap,
. And offers firm ground to stand upon.
Now, shall we as ungrateful children,
Neglect, ignore and damage her life,
Chasing madly our selfish interests,
Putting in danger her very existence?
For millions of years has she sustained,
Sources for us to survive and flourish,
Shouldn't we protect this rich heritage,
To be inherited by the children to come?
