Attention Please!

She is in the air we breathe involuntarily, We realise her importance when we are fighting for our breaths with COVID19 or coughing during the Bhopal Gas disaster, 

She is the water we drink, cook, wash our hands with, and even flush our toilets with, We realise her importance only when we do not find a drop of water near by with an undying thirst, 

She is in the oceans and lands swallowing the waste we throw into them, trying to forgive us for our dire mistakes, 

She is in the trees that give us oxygen we breathe and the food we eat, yet so easily we cut the throats off of, 

She is in the soil we use for growing crops, suffocated by the fertilisers and chemicals we put in unmindful of her, 

Don't take her for granted, she is the tsunami, the epidemics, the earthquakes, the climate change - showing us our place with all her mighty wrath, 

Before she decides our fate, we need to cherish her, love her, and hold her like a mother would hold her newborn baby, protective, tender and gentle in her arms, 

Because she is our Mother Nature and she, like every mother, while nourishment of her kids is priority, she will also make sure to correct their mistakes, as she deems fit.
