DECLAMATION

Regaining World’s Beauty

            “What’s this? Father, it’s so hot! I feel so warm! I want fresh air.”

            “My daughter, this is the result of people’s unkindness to our environment. I’m afraid worst will come soon.”

            “Father I could hardly breathe! Ahhhhh… I guess I need to go to Lolo’s farm to refresh myself.”

            “You may go, but you must be careful.”

            “Yes , Father. I will.”

            “Wow! This is what I long for! Fresh air, cool and peaceful environment! I love this place!”

            “Hah? What’s that? A very loud noise! I’ll try to see it.”

            Ha,ha,ha,ha! Okey, cut all the trees that we could sell. Ha,ha,ha,ha, surely we will have lots of money with these! Ha, ha, ha!

            “No! Sir, sir, sir… why are you cutting the trees? Don’t you know that’s illegal? This may harm us.”

            “What? What are you talking about, little one? What you know in earning a living? You are disturbing us! Go, go, go …go away…. away!”

            “Ay! He’s so bad. He doesn’t care for us. He just thinks of himself. So bad….”

            “Oh my God! Why does the surrounding turn dark? It seems it will rain. Yes! It’s time to play in the rain! It’s raining, it’s raining! Yehey! It’s raining! I love to play in the rain!” Mmmm…mmm…It,s great to feel the coldness of rain water…mmmm….mmmm.”

            “I could hear a noise coming nearer and nearer. It’s….it’s… water? A very strong flow of water… I need to go home now! Father! Father! Father!”

            “What happen to you my dearest daughter? You look so pale! Are you afraid?”

            (Nodding) “Father, father we need to vacate… tell our neighbors, too. It’s flooding! Look!”

            “Oh my God! Come on! Let’s go! My daughter, we can’t go out of the house the water is too deep!”

            “Father, I am afraid, don’t leave me, please don’t leave me! Help me! Father, father, father….”

            “Father..father..father… ( searching) where are you? They are now gone. Who will care for me now? Nobody will care for me now!”

            You, you! Look at me! Will I survive alone? Who will be blamed for all these miseries? Is it God- who has given us everything or the people that destroyed all His blessings?”

            “Being so young, I am challenging you! Save our future, save the children, save us.”

            “Let’s help one another and work together to regain the world’s beauty.”
