A Message From Earth                                                Global Warming
                          Poem
                                                                                         Poem
         Dear human,
                                                                      Everyday our earth comes to a boil.
         I am Earth,
                                                                      Soon we will have to toil.
         A place where you took birth.
         I gave you protection                                        Ice caps are melting,
                                                                                      and sea levels are starting to rise.
         and presented you with deepest of my affection.

         The sun which gives you glorious rays                  Why won’t people grow up and become wise?
         and you run out to witness those in magnificent        Atmospheric gases are stacking quickly.
         ways.                                                  All because we pollute so thickly.
         Did you ever wonder,                                   They make money with fossil fuel and oil.
         that  we do  have the very harmful UV rays?            Though it’s our world which is going to spoil

         But to save you darling creatures,                     “When it comes to our planet,
                                                                                                        we cannot compromise.
         I gave you a wonderful feature,
         The ozone layer                                        Let’s see what happened let’s revise”?
         Because for you, I indeed care.
                                                                a greenhouse traps the suns energy

         But there is a bend in our road,                                                             and keeps the plants warm.
         Oh, I couldn't take this load!                         it prevents freezing and protects it from harm.
         YOU TRIED TO DESTROY ME!                               the ozone layer
         I DON'T COME FOR FREE!                                                             was found by Charles Fabry in 1913
         I have a worth                                         it was a shield, an ozone screen.
         Because I am mother Earth.                             it absorbs most of the radiation reaching the earth.
                                                                but some escaped into our hearth.
         You left those filthy metals
                                                                the greenhouse gases trapped the radiation inside.
         were they any better than those flower's petals?
                                                                all thanks to methane ozone and carbon dioxide
         My ozone layer, my gift for you that you didn't
         care                                                   all the trapped air spread to many layers.
                                                                layers of the atmosphere,
         is being harmed,
                                                                                                 what terrible neighbour’s
         is trying to leave my hand.
         I wanted to take a stand                               they seemed so nice in the stratosphere.
                                                                but they were bad here in the troposphere.
         But I couldn't
                                                                we helped them cause we liked the heat.
         Because YOU wouldn't.
                                                                but it melted our ice sheet(s)

         2020,
         for you it may be a cruelty                            the earth: I know u can’t understand me.
         but for me,                                            but all of this is true.
         I am again free                                        I have feelings just like you.
         My layer has again tightened its grip                  but we did understand the earth, we few.
         Now I would never let it trip.                                   we should save the earth.
         The layer is healing                                             and change our worth
         Ecstatic is the definition of my feeling                         (but the earth will never have a clue)

         But I give you a chance
         A fair chance
         Let's make a deal,
               th
         on 16  September,
         We will let this world heal!
                                                                                          Aashin
