Mother Nature's final plea

By Lavanya Miglani

"I-I can't breathe --

My skin burns!

I feel as though I'm swallowing ashes and lead!

My children run away! It burns!"

This is what I feel,

Mother Nature will say,

On her death-bed,

As she decays,

Along with her children,

Dead, the earth lays

Don't you understand at all?

Earth's nearing her limits, she'll soon fall.

I wonder, would you now bawl?

Or lay dead, as Mother Nature falls...
