HEED AND REACT
I hear it
A fourteen year old
Heart beat...
It is in tune
With a sad
Melancholy
Beating for
The sake of
Just being...
I see them
Fourteen year old
Eyes
Look at the surrounding...
They brim with
Tears
At what is happening!
Untruths being told
And rage been
Given reign to.
Through mankind's
Doings
How the World's
Cloak of seasons
Have cruelly
Been rearranging...
The soul of the
Fourteen year old
Heaves...
If only
Humankind would
Stop
Its greed
In every which way
Its ego it feeds...
The Earth's pain
Would gradually heal
The fourteen year
Old life
Would laugh and
Smile
No longer in hurt
Sigh!
If only
Humanity would
Take heed and
React
Before fourteen
Turns to a
Fossil
A lost memory
In the World's
New breath...!!
