Poem: Our Imperative Earth By Komene Famaa

Our Imperative Earth

(By Komene Famaa)

But we billions of people

Are also a growing horde

Devouring

And polluting

The magnificent biosphere

That keep us

We are marauding the Earth garden

From which every hope grows

And we alone

Who threaten it

Are we alone

Who can protect it.

Unlike a meteor

Hurtling to Earth

We can turn

Our selves around.

Our imperative

Is to rescue ourselves

From ourselves

By ourselves

We can no more escape

This responsibility

Than we can escape our birth

On Earth.

We will succeed together

Or fail apart.

***THE END***
