Lets make the earth breathe again



I have a dream
Where the air is clean
Water is clear
A climate that I feel enough
More than just enough

I’ve seen birds chirping
Plants moving
Sharing its feeling
That life is existing

Rain that shares meaning
Between human connecting
Where they smile believing
That life is unending

But realizing that dreams have an ending
Today, mother earth is dying
Climate change is rising
Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns
Humans are the main contributors to changing patterns
Change in the usual weather found in a place
This could be a change in how much rain a place
Climate change is also a change in Earth's climate
This could be a change in Earth's usual temperature
Seeing a lot of causes
It takes time and process
The air that we dream
It may never be clean
The water that we drink may not be seen clearly
Which are close to being seen as dirty

Animals are crying,
 Trees are trembling.
Earth is breaking
Land is pounding

Waterfalls share a vibing energy
(vid waterfalls)
And now it feels pure negativity
Where trashes scatter
And fishes die
How can we dream
When light is turning dim
Where business is valuable
And money is essential for all

Climate change is happening
Where we humans do not think it exists
More floods, storms, and tornados are happening
Deaths are increasing
Humanity increases the use of fossil fuels coal, oil, and gasses to generate electricity
To run cars and power manufacturing industry

Deforestation is increasing
Removal of forest land is happening
Increasing intensive agriculture
Which emits greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide are the existing culture

Actions are limited
Because humanity feels contented
Right now we have experienced a flood
Where deaths are colored in mud

How can we stay stable?
If our houses and foods are destroyed and unstable
Resources are lacking
But we continue earning rather than helping

Mother Earth is dying
When we will start moving?
Scientists speak louder
Protesting the truth that climate change is not over

Let us teach the youth
And share the truth
Teaching little kids
Simple actions

Letting them understand
How health can be affected in any way we stand
Teaching kids basic actions
A solution and a starting way of prevention

Encouraging safety as an ultimate priority
So that kids will be eager to help themselves valuing the environment and its importance in nourishing safety

Planting many trees
An action of making dying nature to bring back its beauty
An active movement promoting smiles and positivity
To see mountains reborn  its beauty

Walk, cycle, or take public transport
Ways to reduce pollution and its negative transport
Change your home's source of energy
And transform it into a renewable energy


Reduce, reuse and recycle
Practicing this will be an effective cycle
Reduce the number of products you use
Reuse products instead of throwing them away
Recycle waste product
And let’s transform it into a new product
Recycling trash and plastics
To prevent the increasing number of statistics


Actions are effective
And it’s more than effective
Eager for change is equal to passion and it will turn into action
With hand and hand, there will never be a limited action
The power of positive movement is more important than a negative mindset
The positive mind says is action, and let’s turn it into movement

Let’s speak up
Let us use our social media
And make it a green agenda
To expand our movement
To increase our group aims and gives nature moment


We only have 3 to 6 years
To control this climate crisis
Starting with one step
Is more than nothing

Always remember
Uncontrollable and detrimental movement
It will affect everything at this moment
Prevention is better than repair
To avoid experiencing climate impact and despair
It is not too late
We have much time to make
To bloom mother earth's beauty
To start from a harmless and simple environment
To breathe fresh air and clear water risen
To grow and decrease animals, human extinction and mother earth's burden

I know you’re watching
You, you behind that screen
Come with us
Let’s come together
Let us save the mother earth from fallen
Let us make the earth breathe again.
