A blue-and-green sphere remains like a
JEWEL in the universe,
as there is no other sight of LIFE to search.
LUSTROUS liquid water making the blood of the Earth-
without this, it cannot give BIRTH.
Patches of green giving the Earth its UNIQUENESS,
a sign that LIFE is teeming at its fullest.
A thick blanket of NITROGEN, OXYGEN, and ARGON
wrapping around the Mother Earth,
protecting her from MONSTROUS rays that could hurt.
Then one day, an INTELLIGENT new species appeared,
scaring the mother with FEAR.
It destroyed her beautiful works of ART,
replacing them with HOUSES and FARMS.
The selfish creatures killed MILLIONS of other creatures,
CRAVING them for food and clothing features.
Suddenly, the population began to INCREASE,
leading to a complex civilization with more DISEASE.
Factories came SPROUTING in an enormous chain,
releasing gases like CO2 and METHANE.
This made Mother Earth very MAD,
she started growing HOTTER,
breaking up the RICH BLANKET she once had.
She gave rise to ABNORMAL climates, rising sea levels,
SICKENING her body.
Poor Mother Earth, I feel so SORRY!
-Maitreyi Verma
