LETTER FROM EARTH

My dearest humans

E’er since I remember

You’ve been welcomed with

Open arms to my house

Knowing you’re my guests

I shower you with all I have

Air to breathe, water to drink

Grains, fruits, gardens n valleys

Its all thrown open to you

So you can grow n evolve

Adding to my abundant house

Your love, togetherness n joy

Alas, today I’m pained

Far from having gratitude

You take it all for granted

Don’t even seem to value it

What is your arrogance?

You use all my vegetation

Cutting away my trees

Destroying the mountains

You even drain away

My abundant water bodies

And keep digging away

My minerals and ores

You continue dumping

Your trash all over me

I but fail to understand

How far you’ll take this

You’re creating boundaries

Conveniently in the name of

Religion, Nation, Gender

Status, skin color e’en

How have you forgotten

You're but a guest here

Whose permission you took

To disintegrate me 

Calling me mother earth

Is this what people do

To their very own mother

Who provides ‘em selflessly

D’you ever ponder

How I must be feeling

Shorn of all my treasures

Parched to the core

My foundation when shaken

But causes earthquakes

N natural calamities

You've no control over

I feel so shattered

Being a silent spectator

To all the destruction

That but ensues

How do I teach you

To simply learn to co-exist

Can you take care of me too

So I continue providing you

We only have a presence

Because of each other

None of us is independent

We’re all but interdependent

YOU AND ME TOGETHER

WE ARE THE EARTH

Comfort Zone

One fine day

It so dawned on me

Everyone’s comfort zone

Isn’t the same

For some it’s lazing

Action for some

Oh you mean it isn’t

A physical zone

It’s just in our mind

We but keep believing

That its real

Easy n peaceful

Am I really comfortable

In my comfort zone

Or maybe I am

In a quiet denial

While I ain't just

Feeling worthy enough

Could these be then

My limiting thoughts

Joining hands with

Some limited experiences

That but make me

Resist any change

Scared to step out

Of my comfort zone

While secretly admiring

The smart adventurers

Wishing I could be

Fearless like them

And then I remember

My childhood days

When I kept falling

E'er so often

While I was learning

To stand and walk

Doesn't the very fact

I'm walking today

Show I wasn’t fearful

Just chose not to go 

Into a status quo

A comfort zone

For every achievement

I've had so far

I confronted my fears

And challenged myself

Choosing not to be

In a comfort zone

Indeed a revelation

It’s such a misnomer

Comfort zone

Isn’t comfortable for sure

Just a repetitive zone

With no creativity

Tis mere complacence

Evolvement compromised

Loaded with resignation

No excitement either

Tis but a dead end

Where possibilities shrink

A limiting zone

Making me a victim

Engulfed so in my

Fears n insecurities

Thinking I’m alone

Not deserving enough

I finally bid adieu

To days of exile

Going b'yond my fears

N self-imposed limitations

Replacing poor me

With the empowered ME

Lo and behold

As I get comfortable

Outside of my

Comfort Zone

I AM the adventurer

I AM the Creator
