Earth is our Home

Wrote based on the 15th sustainable development goals, I won 3rd place for my university's poem writing competition.

    God our Father the creator of heaven and earth;

 Make men and women in his own image, bless us to be fruitful and multiply; 

Look! The waterfall is like a diver, reaching for the water that await it; 

Rampaging river is like a silver ribbon that laid across the land; 

 Moving swiftly, stealing anything that is on its path.

The hills roll away like sleeping lions, as big as the boulders; 

It looked like a Little Rock Candy Mountain, as lush as any Hobbit Realm!

 Sea of Sand shine like coins strewn across the dark sand; 

The Land is Full of Song; 

 The Land from a beautiful painting come to Life!

Oh human beings, please stop destroying your home!

 Look, our Earth was once beautiful and clean!

 All humans and animals live in harmony for years; 

Less pollution and disease during the old times; 

Together we protect our Mother Earth. 

Hey my fellow people! Let us plant back all the trees that we cut down;

 We reduce, reuse and recycle, so the Earth will stay safe once more.

 Stop illegal hunting and let us reserve for our coming generations;

 Let’s save our lovely animals from the danger of extinction;

 Let’s return our Mother’s beauty together!
