The earth as a fantastic creation has to be nourished and protected.

Imagine the earth

That fantastic ball

Rotating in space

With other planets

- – -

Think about the sun

That fire ball 

Which is million of miles away

That we view from earth

- – -

Oh, the beauty of life!

All living forms

Of flora and fauna

Are sustained 

In our brilliant ecosystem

- – -

As far as we know

Man stands paramount

Amidst the other planets 

And stars with his psyche

Intelligence and soul

As protector in the universe

- – -

Man awakes every day

To the phenomena 

Of day and night

Singing birds

Living vegetation

And rising tides from oceans

Around him

- – -

Man speaks a plethora

Of languages

Are settled in diverse regions

Travels in a variety of ways

And explores out of space

- – -

Man monitors the weather

Predicts impending doom

From natural disasters

Cover of Volcanoes (Extraordinary)

Cover of Hurricanes

Of earthquakes

Hurricanes, tornadoes

Volcanoes and tsunamis

And we earthlings heed

These warnings

- – -

Man has evolved

Will continue to

Unless he destroys himself

With nuclear arsenals

Or by abusing

This magnificent environment

Of which he’s a steward
