Earth is an earnest philosophy
A theology of surveillance
With awesome austerity of absolute acceptance
It’s the axis of assiduousness
A doctrine of depth and diligence
Earth sustains mammoth motherhood
In her incredible cradle
Though swearing severe saddle
But without slightest sigh
She blissfully bears treacherous twaddle
She swallows all the venom
To sustain undaunted existence
Nonetheless pursuing painful persistence
She holds the heat in her heart
With tearful smiles of immense benevolence
Though grave are our misdeeds
But with perfect tranquillity
The mother murmurs her melodious morbidity
Ah! Her sigh never come to eyes
Though she moans her turbulent Turbidity
And we, the unceasing infernos
Of vengeance, egoism and self- centred endfulness
Contemplating our cases with self-prejudence
though survive on saps of mother earth
but merely belittle her with malicious meanfullness
Let the mother creep down
up to our terminal nerves
Let’s vow those verves
of unabated instinct
to curb, serve and preserve
