Apocalypse!

Protect Earth to Survive.

I am out of breath now. The air is choking. It feels like we have no escape.

I pause for breath. Breath? I inhale in a whole lot of chemicals. My lungs are really tired of purifying the poison I take in.

My eyes run down to check the speeding time. Fifteen minutes left.

Fifteen minutes to the apocalypse.

Unless I can stop it. All I need is to find the sign. The sign of hope. The sign of Life.

I am near. I can win. I drag myself forward with these mantras.

I reach a clearing. A clearing made my dilapidated buildings and metal structures.

I see the sign above a patch of raggedy Earth. The sign of salvation.

Two minutes more. I run with all my energy but stop abruptly. The leaves are drooping and the sapling is no more. The sign is no more.

The End’s come.

We were born in this life to take care of our selves and to do so we should take care of our surrounding, without it we wont feel the joys that life has to offer.

I know nature will out-last man. I saw once, forest re-birth quickly after the big fires. The sad part is. Man will perish if we don't change. Already many animals instinct and many more lost daily. A powerful poem dear friend. I pray we change quickly. Thank you Neetha for sharing the powerful words and thoughts.
