ONE EARTH

One earth is all there is,

To live, to learn, to grow;

There may not be another,

So mind the way you go.

The sapling that grows today,

Sees lesser of its kind;

Plant a hope today to see,

A greener world unwind.

The glacier’s coat is thinning,

And the fear doesn’t allay;

“Will you switch off that engine please?”,

It asks in dismay.

What we do today decides,

What our future holds;

So take care of your mother, brethren,

For in her lap your life unfolds.
