Little Help for Our Earth

Little Help for Our Earth

By : Safina Zahra Ayesha

Long time ago,

My country is clean, cool, and shady

There were many trees and environment without trash

Long time ago,

My forest is lush and beautiful

With lot of shade trees

Long time ago,

The village where I live has a clean river

The air is fresh, without smell of trash

However, now,

Why there are pollution everywhere?

Why there are so many trash almost everywhere?

Why the forests become bald?

Why the rivers become dirty, full of trash?

And how many times flood occurs?

And how many times landslides occurs?

And how many peoples are sick because of air pollution?

And who has done all of these?

It’s all due to the hands of rogue who doesn’t care about the environment

Littering without the slightest feeling of guilt

Cutting down trees in the forest without thinking first

Burning forests to create fields

Pollute rivers without thinking about what the consequences

However, why do they always blame government?

Why do they always blame others?

Don’t they realize the mistakes they have done?

However, I will not stay silent

I want to make rivers clean back

I want to make gutters free from trash

I want to make the forest lush back

I want to make the air in the roads become fresh and healthy again

Let’s plant back the bald forests

Let’s put trash in the trash box

Let’s reduce the use of polluting vehicles

Take care of our earth

Because earth is where we live
