Greetings from Earth

🌎

Hello out there, I wonder how things are beyond the sun

Do we see the same moon, do you have more than one?

I hope my message finds you in a time of calm

That you are well and thriving, living free of harm

Over here it feels as if everyone has gone insane

There is so much suffering and far too much pain

The hate, the murder, the oppression, the bombs

Tell me is it like that, where you are from?

Our blue and green haven is turning to brown

Poverty and pollution are destroying the towns

The forests are wilting and the nature is rebelling

With floods and fires while industries keep swelling

Maybe some of these words bear no meaning

Where you have no acts labelled so unseemly

Perhaps out there, beings cherish their land

Where greed does not conquer over basic demands

I trust that somewhere, intelligence begets peace

Past the stars, where the fighting and distress has ceased

I hope where you are, you love and live with mirth

Where you tell scary stories, of a place called Earth
