Once, the rivers ran clear and the forests stood tall,
Mountains whispered secrets, and the oceans held all.
Birds sang at dawn, and the breeze carried peace
But now, in the air, there’s a tremulous unease.

Smoke curls from chimneys, the sky wears grey,
Plastic drifts where the turtles once played.
Ice caps are melting, the seasons untamed,
Nature is calling—her voice unrestrained.

But hope is not lost if we answer the call,
To cherish our planet, to give it our all.
Recycle and plant, let the green spaces grow,
Conserve every drop, and let compassion flow

Imagine a world where the air is pure,
Where rivers run free and the future is sure.
Where children can laugh in a clean world,
And every community is part of the dream.

Let’s write the next chapter with courage and care,
With actions that matter and stories to share.
For Earth is our home—let’s protect and defend it,
And leave for tomorrow a world we can mend.
