A call to the awakening of the Planet's Health

With oceans deep and mountains tall
A vibrant canvas for creatures small
Birds sing so sweet a melody so tipsy
Frogs and bogya croak shinning at night so gipsy
Donyame ne Ayebidah under the kambala
Enjoy nkankom and brobbey, nkyewie ne nsaefuo
In the world where life should thrive and soar
Pollution creeps leaving us to implore
Trees falling like rains, factories growing like weeds
People cough, skin itches their heart full of needs
The soil grows poorer, rivers tainted a word of despair
Animals vanish the ecosystem song we must repair
In cities no trees just piles of borla no tomorrow
Plastics are what I catch when I fish oh what a sorrow
When was the last time the sky held a rainbow?
God’s creation is done lets halt the pollution
Plant trees love others not just yourself
Avoid littering, dumping and burning for the planets health
Conserve energy at home, work everywhere
Ecosafe paint, cleaning product we must choose
Public transport, biking, walking we can’t loose
Planet like earth so real and grand
A precious gem in the cosmos we overstand
Let’s sow the seeds of change today
To enjoy a healthy planet for tomorrow’s day
With love and care we can renew the beauty of mother earth

Bobo, I like your passionate call for a better earth, but I'm afraid that, even in these days of green technology, we may be doomed. I wrote a bit of satire addressing the many things you are concerned about. If you want a smile, check it out. It's called "How to Save Earth," or something like that. Maybe you'll like it, but be warned, it may be a bit depressing in the end.

This poem moved me with its vivid imagery and heartfelt urgency. It beautifully portrays the contrast between nature's wonders and the damage we’ve caused through pollution and neglect.
The cultural references add depth, reminding us that caring for the Earth is a global responsibility.
The call to action felt powerful and motivating, leaving me inspired to make a difference.
A truly compelling piece that calls for change and renews hope for a better future.
