Ah! I used to see vast open blue skies and deep, endless oceans;
Green and green like evergreen in limitless forests, always set in motion;
Honied nests of birds chirping as if on an ever-growing medley of songs;
People whistling and singing along to the merry rhythm of life, winterlong.
Oh! Then one day washed upon the shores: hasty industrialization;
The streets full of murmurs of the new trend of urbanization;
Huge factories and nuclear centres brimming with energy and power;
People stuck in homes in front of massive buildings from which they cowered.
Ah! How I dream of open blue skies and deep, endless oceans;
Green and green like evergreen in limitless forests, always set in motion;
Honied nests of birds chirping as if on an ever-growing medley of songs;
People whistling and singing along to the merry rhythm of life, winterlong.
Alas! Little did I know that the world I once knew was changed in haste;
Ships towards my dream of sustainability turned against winds beyond the control of the mast;
For I was told that the air quality has degraded in deduction.
Little did I know that, as Earth, my ship has always been destined for an apocalypse- the total destruction.
