"SaY" it with a poem: A message of Hope
The multi-talented Mehek Doshi from Dhirubhai Ambani International School has a few words to say about the nobility of Mother Nature.
Nature’s nobility
The sky mutated, azure and profane
as the lightning struck
down came the incessant rain
the behemoth almighty God
unravelled his power
and created nature
sending us on a new endeavour
The soil on earth formed
as the impurities cascaded down the sky
and nestled on the barren ground
that felt rough and dry
unceremoniously the soil shook
and a tiny green sapling emerged
a new fledgling
ready to be a bird
this tiny sapling how lanky it grew?
and towered the world as if it flew
On the tree came a tincture of colour
which developed into a splendorous flower
it turned into a spindly thicket
Alas! Alect! its never static
As the sky cleared in salmon and gold
a ball of molten gold ascends up high
and mesmerises birds and butterflies
it irradiated shedding light the rest of the day
and into the azure ocean it sunk away

The lashing waves made thundering sounds
welcoming the moon that ascended from the ground
the leaden sky was filled with silver
and stars that shine even in winter
This cycle is recurring everyday
and this is how life on earth was made
the nurturing mother earth
shared her love and pain
all for our paraphernalia and gain
And yet this world is selfish, manner less
instead of giving thanks
we destroy river banks
we waste resources
and steal homes of animals
so, they’re homeless
the earth is choked with pollution
broke with revolution
so, this is our story in my pure intuition

If you care about this generation
create a federation
make change and clear the dust
our chance is now
and everyone can help somehow
try your best and remember this isn’t a test
let’s make a better world and live to the fullest
