Text : Mother Earth’s letter

Dear Friend,
When I was young, I started my day on the East so I could welcome the warm sunrise. The air was ,cool and smell so fresh. The flowers were blooming with colours and the butterflies were roaming freely in the Babylonian gardens. The sky was so blue and the birds glided gracefully with their sweet songs. The rivers were clear as a mirror and fish danced graciously underneath the picturesque beauty of the pacific sea. When the moon and the sun set above the ocean, the water twinkled like a diamond star.
These were the memories of my past that I miss so hard. Time has faded my beauty and others abused my generosity. I gave shelter to mankind and nurtured his wildlife. I gave you food, clothing and medicine… but you gave me nothing. The billion of years that I took care of your generation have led to my slow destruction. I gave you everything my friend, but again, you gave me nothing. I am writing you today to say that I love you my dear friend. I am willing to share you everything and all that is left of what I have so you can live happily with your family. I am willing to sacrifice my life for your survival …because I care for you.
Just like you my friend, I will soon grow old and die. Time of my death is still unknown but honestly, I am scared to die, I am scared not to see your children grow and I will be hurt to leave this world. Do you really love me, my friend? Then,why don't you take care of me like the way I take care of you? I am dying... I need you to save me. You are my only last hope.
Love,
Mother Earth
