"Eleven one za eleven
Eleven two za twenty two
Oh its twenty two
What year, "2024"
Happy, fifty fifth earth day to you
Happy earth day, sir
Happy earth day, mam
Happy earth day, to all my co-planetary fam"
'Hey humans"
"Listen" the earth says
"What u all wishing each other
Is it my birthday?"
"Yeah, kind of,
We talk about you,
Think about you,
Cheer for you
So a birthday, of sorts"
"Well, a day wouldnt be enough"
The earth answers
"it took me million of years to form,
You know, sir"
"Yeah, this all, our scientists could tell,
But we only have few decades with you,
Although an enternity is promised at places,
Called heaven and hell,
So u can tell,
Its a bit impractical,
To give you more than a day,
I hope you understand "
the humans say
'Well, thats reasonable" the earth agrees
"But tell me more about my day na, please"
"Sure!, today we celebrate you,
Pledge to protect you,
Clean you, heal you,
Resurrect you"
"Resurrect me"
" why?"
"Why not,
You dont know, Over the years you have gotten so hot" a human replies
"Its like for a long time you are on rage,
Somewhere its burning hell, somewhere its ice age"
"But humans, you were here for only few decades with me,
And i remember, last time, i was here, there were more trees,
I see the ocean seems to be high too,
And it has gotten so blurry, cant see no stars in the sky too,
And Hey, whats that, transparent thing, that guy got her,
Omg, do you really have to buy water,
This thing, in which it comes,
What do you call it, "plastic" is it?
I have seen, this plastic, in oceans, more than fish! "
"Yes, we are sorry, for what has happened,
And we confess, in last decades, a lot has happened
The damage is so huge,
And it happened too, so fast,
for years, we have estimated, its effects would last,
And you are right,
It will be stupid to bluff,
Only A day for you, is surely not enough,
So Enough of careless industrial growth,
Who smears you black , while swearing on green owths,
Enough of wars,
Remember, if the 3rd is nuclear
4th one, would be with sticks
Enough of packing everything in plastic
We have to keep you in our thoughts
In our actions,
In budgets,
In sanctions,
I know its all promises, nothing concrete , all rough
And truly a day, not enough"
"There , there, my humans", the earth says to all the humans still in dispair
"I know you have few hands, few tools, and a lot to repair,
Yeah to think, it will take only a day to execute,
Well, its cute,
But listen to all the cheers
"Go earth", "wo hoo earth, " see all those hands clapping for me,
All those voices who hoot,
I think its cool to have a day,
To celebrate and cherish the place you stay,
For if you love me always like that,
It will be alright, so get to work, stat!,
And I wont ever ask for more than a day,
Coz 'i love you earth',
See it takes only a second to say! "
