In the haze of morning light, the sky turns gray,
A veil of sorrow cloaks the dawn,
The rivers murmur in dismay,
As nature’s breath is slowly drawn.
The trees once whispered lullabies,
Now cough in choking, poisoned air,
Beneath their leaves, where silence lies,
Lies the weight of human care.
Oceans swell with tears unshed,
Their depths a grave of plastic dreams,
The coral reefs, now ghostly dead,
Cry out in silent, shattered screams.
Oh, heed the call of earth’s lament,
For every breath, for every sigh,
Let us mend what we have rent,
And heal the world before it dies.
