Happy Earth Day

Dear God,

Hi, how are you? Hope you are doing great! Remember the last time we talked? It was some 1000 years ago when I had told you, that my womb was carrying some of the most beautiful things in the universe. Some slumbering baby seeds, some foraging animals, some dew dropped flowers and buds yet to be flourished, the mighty mountains, the swift rivers and the most astonishing creature of all- a small crying baby- I called him human. I loved them so much. They were the only thing I called my treasure. It was so good to see them playing with the branches of my trees, splashing my rivers’ water all around, cultivating me to grow so many vegetables and give a new life and you were so happy with me. But my dear god! What has happened to you now? Why don’t you talk to me anymore? Neither do you see my pain nor hear me crying? Where has the innocence of my babies gone? Why has the devil sabotaged my angels? Why am I not able to breath in this smoke filled universe? What is making them harm me? Was my care not good enough to make them feel loved or did they feel isolated when I was around? My branches, my rivers, my mountains, my land that once used to be my crown of glory is all destroyed. The black clouds full of tears keep pouring their hearts’ pain all out on me. My heart has become weak, I cannot see this constant destruction any more. I will not be able to survive in this selfish world. Oh god! I request you, please talk to me. Please try to feel my pain and see what I have become now. A woman that gleamed has now been burnt with her own sparkle! I wish things get back to normal. Please, my dear god! Tell my kids that I love them a lot. Tell them that by harming me they are harming themselves and I cannot see my babies aching anymore. It’s my birthday today! All I want is peace and happiness and this world of mine to be a better place to live in. I hope you will not disappoint me and present me with this precious gift on my birthday.

Love,

Earth
