SAVE ME

AN AGELESS APPEAL FROM THE ENVIRONMENT!

I was born several billion years in the past,

I am the EARTH, no mortal can outlast;

Alexander, Napolean,Hitler, I've seen them all,

I am the EARTH, who has seen the mighty fall.

But my arrogance made me feel immortal,

And today I realise, my mistake was fatal;

My ozone layer is nearly over,

And I am now, cowering for cover;

The global warming is making me burn,

And the rising ocean levels are making me drown;

The destruction of forestshave made my hairline thin,

And the endless soil erosion has wrinkled my skin;

Poison gases are all I get to breathe,

And one by one, I am loosing all my teeth;

My robust frame has become weak,

And my endless exploitation has made me meek;

As my future looks scary dark,

SAVE ME, SAVE ME.. is all I ask.
