when the trees blacken
and voices echo
who will fill the vast silence
when the sunsets are just fire
and the full moon just flood
who will read to our children
when the desert meets the tropics
and the roads crumble to dust
who will write down our history
when there is no more
when our breaths are counted
who will paint the wreckage
when the earth browns
and the dust settles
who’s left holding the blame?
when our words are forgotten
and our culture stripped bare
who will remember this

It’s baffling to me how humans seem to be oblivious to the critical need to protect our planet. Our home is the only one we have, and yet we see people focusing solely on their own egos and material possessions, rather than taking the necessary steps to ensure the survival of our species in the long run. It’s troubling to think about the future of our planet and the children who will inherit it if we continue down this path. We need to shift our priorities and start taking action to protect our environment and secure a sustainable future for humanity.😔🌟
