Save me.... Save yourself.....Save your future

After a month of procrastination, I finally wrote my first
poem. Please down scold me if you don’t like it. I will try to write more
in the days to come.


When you came on this earth, you were few in number
But you lived in Symbiosis with me
You enjoyed the abundant resources, you enjoyed your life
Being gifted, you are the most intelligent species
So, you grew more rapidly than other less intelligent species
You started with no house, no cloth just like others
In short span you had everything.. Cloth, house, entertainment, unlike
others
But you still lived in symbiosis with me
You lived with me, you grew with me
I am your past, I am your present, I am your future
I am your nature

You lived with me, you grew with me
You used me, I didn’t say anything
You burned trees, I didn’t say anything
You inhabited other species, I didn’t say anything
You outnumbered other species for your benefits, I didn’t say anything
I tolerated you, I gave you warning, but you didn’t respond
But there are limits for toleration, I have to say
Save me.... Save yourself.....Save your future

You still have time, I must say...
You are the most intelligent and most capable
You have the power to save me and your future
You can do it
You owe your children a better future
You owe other species their right to live on his planet
You have to stop the way you live
And live the way you lived long long ago in symbiosis with other species
You have to do it
Your future, my future, your planet’s future lies in your hands
Save me.... Save yourself.....Save your future
