HEED AND REACT

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...!!
