MOTHER EARTH

Well,this marks my 50th post.Honestly,I don’t know what to feel.I mean,I’m delighted that I have written fifty blog posts and YAY to golden jubilee,but at the same time I feel, I could have done more for my blog and given it more time and focus than I did.But overall, I do feel this tiny sense of accomplishment in my heart as I write my 50th,as I’ve been contemplating to start a blog for years now, and  for some reason or the other, never took the plunge.But,in 2018, I decided that the perfect time is never going to come and the time you start doing something you like, it automatically becomes the perfect time.So,I wrote two posts and the feeling I got after posting them was something else.It gave me such pleasure to share something I believe in and would hopefully resonate with someone else too. But, then went off the grid,thanks to the procrastinator that I am.So,in 2019,I decided that I had to award my blog the attention it deserved from me,and my love for writing brought me back.Though,I was consistent in the beginning but fell off the bandwagon again.But,you know what??Life happens and I’ve realized that it’s okay to post whenever you feel like and not treat it like work,and as cliche as it sounds,you just  got to enjoy the process. After all,it’s your blog and you can do whatever you want with it ,whenever you want and wherever you want and that’s the beauty of it.Okay, I think I need to stop now and come straight to the point,otherwise this post is going to become a few pages long.So,I was thinking of a topic to write on and realized that that I didn’t get to post this piece I had written for  Earth Day for whatever reason, but what better time than now, as this is a cause which I believe everyone should stand up for.Our planet needs us now more than ever,and all we’ve got is our mother Earth and if we take care of her, she’ll take care of us.

Also,I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that have followed my blog,liked the posts or commented on it.Your support really means a lot to me and encourages me to write more,and gives me the push I need when I start to become a little complacent with my blog.Apart from being a writer,the other thing that I enjoy doing is reading other people’s blogs whenever I get the time to and it simply blows my mind how talented and hardworking people are and what amazing pieces of art they produce.This acts as a motivator for me and makes me want to give my best too .It may not be the best content out there,but I know for a fact that that it is something unique to me and maybe will touch chord with some people,if not all.So,here goes my 50th post-

 

You are our only home

Where we can freely roam;

Over the years,

taken you for granted;

Wreaked havoc and

not enough trees planted;

In a place,which was once

pure and enchanted;

Still,like a nurturer

you are always giving;

More often than not

always forgiving;

Sometimes,you are angry too

And, lash out in the form

of a natural calamity;

Making us question

our morality and humanity;

So,can we all pledge to do our bit

to protect our mother EARTH?

From whose embrace millions take birth.

 

Once again,thank you for taking out time to read my blog posts and hopefully,here’s to many more in the future.Cheers!!

CLIMATE CHANGE

Glaciers melting

Polar Bears panting;

Sea levels rising

Marine life down sizing;

Forests catching fire

Animals facing the nature’s ire;

Still,people think climate change is not real

And,don’t make it sound like a big deal;

Time is ticking to take real action

For starters,let’s begin with a positive intervention;

If we don’t want to be wiped

from the face of the Earth in a fraction;

People please listen to environmentalists advice

If you don’t want to pay a heavy price;

Well…. for now,this should suffice.
