POETRY FOR EARTH DAY
OPEN YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR MIND, LISTEN WITH YOU EARS, FEEL WITH YOUR HEART
Why we want to commemorate earth day?
Why we make big hugs to unite everyone
Become big wave to turn back the destroyer
Cause we have seen many things
Cause we have seen the events
Cause we get the impact
Cause we don’t want earth injury bigger and bigger
Make worse and worse
open your eyes
the earth where we stand
the earth in which we live
here we live and here we also turn off
the earth as a source of livelihood
we make a journey to the destruction
open your mind
will we let it be drowned by a storm of destruction
will we be happy if our descendants will lose
just a story about the beauty of earth from historical stories
from scientific documentation and research
while they hold acyd rain in their hand?
now listen
We want friendly earth
We want keep our friendship with earth
We want stay in this planet
We refuse every natural persecution
Cause we knew that earth is beautiful
then apply with your heart
we are aware that has been centuries trampled the earth
do we know that billions of years have hurt the earth
Do we understand us that every day just asks the right of the earth without giving pause to him
do we understand that we are just riding
can we see the pain suffered by the earth
can we feel the pain of the earth
can we understand the feelings of the earth
have the innocent races just settled for a moment in our minds?
open your eyes wider
Let’s look through the mirror of the past
throughout human history
our ancestors had already started to manage nature
take the result while they repair again
make a wisdom between take and give
you have given me everything
so I will give you something better
but now,
lay your eyes on the forest
once flourished virgin forests
water abundant though drought will not flood in any rain
springs - the water's eyes are so swell puffing clear and not afraid if we gulp
green leaves soothing eyes refreshing our lungs
because we need the lungs of the world
look at it chainsaws attack ferociously
chop down everything that stands up
just plundering wealth without remembering the future impact
trucks and roaring excavators pushed and brought home
piled it into lean-dollar sheets
then when you flatten your eyes toward mountains and mountains
the giant mound harbors unimaginable wealth
provision for all children and descendants
from there flowed a clear spring
living all living beings in their stream
twisting the creek from the foot of the mountain
greening the whole plant
providing a source of life for plant animals and of course us, human beings
precious metal content
like a mound of gold buried in the ground
coal just scratching and your account will be full
You dig deeper you find geothermal energy source
which illuminate and drive the turbine
until there is no darkness at night
and all tools run well
but because of greed
now you dig and you dred all
from the mountain until it turns into a deep overdraft
then you leave without compassion
without wanting to fix
without wanting to wrap the wounds of the earth
now look at the sea
once the sea is a dream for fishermen and travelers alike
a happy place in life
who travel will be happy running around
chasing the waves on the beach
soft sand and beautiful white foam
green coconut leaves shimmer from the sunlight
fishermen happy with fish
everything
a blessing because of God's grace
just stock the nets and fishing rods can support the family
beautiful coral reefs can not be forgotten
to those who see it because of its sustainability
but now...
tiger trawl and poison trawl into the sea
just because of greed
damaged all the fish houses
go all the beauty
coral reef was damage
the sea is transformed into a giant garbage can
whatever you throw into the sea
everything you think the rest you send to the sea
from home kitchen to factory waste
pollute the sea and meet the beach
garbage piles and pollution
increasingly craze and inflamed
now feel with your heart
how deep is the wound of the earth
how painful it is
festering wounds that are about to dry out again
torn by us until the bloody back gaping very wide and deep
penetrate the pulse until almost cut off
bleeding non-stop until it collapsed and collapsed
no more breath sign that there is still life
pulse stops beating the death sign
will we experience it we want
our descendants do not feel the beauty of the earth
from the mountain to the sea
the sea felt stuffy trapped
without space to sigh
until there was no more tears
more mountain wounds
weeping no longer shed tears
