| This is a poem that was written by Satvik, my 9 year old grandson, and submitted for a Young Writers poetry competition. Of over 25,000 poems from all over the UK and overseas, this is one of the poems that has been chosen for publication in The Big Green Poetry Machine, London & The Home Counties Poets. The theme was on environment.
I Am The Earth I am the Earth, a beautiful place Where birds and sparrows sing. I am the Earth, a beautiful place Where plants grow thick and thin. The animals live in harmony The air is fresh and clean I am the Earth, a beautiful place Where every living thing has been. Then man came and broke me down He cut my trees for wood He killed the animals for their fur I wondered how he could. The factories were choking me The air was getting warm But all I could do was watch and weep Because man was killing its own. Children of the world come and save me! My future is in your hands Stop these men from destroying me And give me back my lands. Donʼt use plastic, use paper or glass Donʼt drive, may be cycle to school Be kind to your neighbour, whatever his colour For he is your brother, too. Give back to the soil what youʼve taken from it Grow lots of plants and trees I am the Earth, a beautiful place Letʼs keep it that way, please! By Satvik Subramaniam |
