Open your eyes.

I see plastic bags flying around, I see the Amazon and California forests burnt to the ground. We emit and inhale the polluted air, Not knowing the consequences that we have to fix and prepare. Why can't you see? Stop cutting down trees, The world is supposed to be filled with greenery. Why can't you see? This is not how the world is supposed to be, And continuing this will only lead us to misery. I see people combusting fossil fuels to generate energy, Just to meet their lethargic convenience. Let's not exploit the planet for our own curiosity. I see nature waiting to present its beauty and creativity to us, But all of its thoughts and ideas are being ignored and erased, regardless. Why can't you see? It's not too late, To change ourselves and change our fate, Why can't you see? That we only have one earth and one planet, Mars is just a possibility, The fate and future of the Earth lies in our hands, It's time that we took up the responsibility. I see still people not listening to me, Our only salvation is simple as can be, By conserving water and preserving Electricity, By reusing, recycling, and reducing scrap, We can do so much more than diminish pollution. Yet, I still see people not listening to me. By Carpooling with mates or climbing a bus, By walking down or riding a bike seldom, We can do so much more than keep our air pure. Yet, I still see people not listening to me. By Planting more trees, By lessening the waste of paper, We do so much more than spread our green lushness. When we put all these acts together, When we bend our backs to clear our blunders, Only then we will be able to, Heal our generous mother. So give me a hand, let's strive together towards our bright future. The world will be a beautiful place every season, If you love and care about the environment for no reason. Now that I've given you a solution, I ask you to act with determination. For I wish to see a world with no pollution, So what should I do to drag you out of the delusion? Everyone has an excuse for doing what they do but with a solution given to us on a silver platter maybe we can fix it. It's never too late. -Praneeta
