My Evolution to Destruction

For millions of years, I have been developing and changing. I wanted to evolve, become better, and a happy place to live in. I witnessed everything that occurred during the many years of my existence. When something modified in me, I merrily watched and felt proud. Although I did feel pain when several harmful sensations took place inside me I never objected because I loved my people. I was tolerant and kind. I never tortured the people I thought were my own children. I am a motherly planet and would always give nothing but affection and security to my children. I am everyone’s home and the only life-sustaining planet. The contours of the green, blue and brown in me make me rich in beauty. My scenic beauty makes life inside me even more comfortable and enjoyable. 

However, sometimes I feel worried and anxious. The amount of progress taking place inside me becomes unbearable and I fear that I won’t be able to survive. Lately, I am facing boundless catastrophes. Pollution and global warming are taking over me and all my goodness is being snatched by none other than my own children who consider me their only home. It is disheartening that they don’t seem to care about what's happening in me.

They have become selfish and self-centered, which was the last thing I wanted them to be. My oceans, mountains and plains have become dumping grounds. The wild creatures, who were my first occupants, are being ill-treated and abused. If they continue treating me like this, everything will come to an end and I will have to abandon my inhabitants unwillingly. Only if they realize my importance and respect my resources, they can fix this imbalance within me. Thus, I will once again be capable of providing them with their essential requirements and make life easier and homely.
