Can earth be Earth when all it’s green trees are gone,

And glistering waters have become unfit,

And poisoned life no longer greets the dawn

With raucous sounds that death has caused to quit?

Will trees no longer wave, with limbs unfurled,
On hapless earth, that ever in orbit roams?

Will human ego sacrifice the world
To fill up its lust for pompous homes?

Will distant space look down on orb that’s bald and brown?

I now can hear the mother say,
“I was once called Earth.

But now, I weep.
That treeless orb’s no longer’s Earth……
