Don’t let it go

Close your eyes and feel
Can you see them?
Those huge beasts
That roamed on her chest
Their body was heavy
But they treaded light
She survived happily
For thousands of years
Even after they merged
In the deep layers of her.

Then came her most darling child
Fairest of them all
The only one who could hear her
Talk to him or her
Whisperings of a mother
Through wind, sun, moon and rain
But that child could only hear
It forgot to feel her pain
All it did was ask
For more, more and even more.

Soon her body got tired
By his constant digging
All her other children
Perished one after the other
Her golden dusks and dawns
Hid themselves in fumes
Her rivers and oceans
Got covered with oil spill
Her lullabies and songs
Got submerged in machine roars.

Her tears started to drown them
Her sighs started to scare them
Her moans escaped in lava
Still they did not listened
Then one day they woke up
Decided to do the reverse
To mend her bleeding body
To treat their mother right.
A new voice was heard
“don’t let it go.”

“This earth is our home”, it sang
“We live on it we die on it
We cant let her suffer any more
She is our true mother
For she bears us selflessly
For every dagger we dig in her
She gives a piece of herself
We cant let her go like this.”
A new age dawned
And she waits to see them succeed.
