OUR PLANET

I do know
It’s drowning
I do know
It’s burning
I do know
It’s losing

But I do know it’s not late
Its green cover is not yet vanished
Its lands are not yet deserted
Its rivers are not yet flooded

I love my planet
Despite all its calamities
Despite all its blemishes
Despite all the human predictions

Because I know
It can be saved
Because I know
I am son of its soil
Because I know
We all will join hands
And make it a new land

I love my planet
if I have to give my meaningless development for it
I will give it with a smile
because I do know
It is mine!
