WHEN THE AGED EARTH CRYING

At a silence night

I heard a cry vaguely

I can see

You were crying, my beloved earth

And I know

You have been so weary

To bear all of this problem solely

Human’s handiwork without any responsibility

Their destructive activity thoughtlessly

And now, I can guess that

you feel so hard to breath

you always feel swelter

and get a serious injury

No, I don’t want it happen anymore

Because here we live

Here we undergo our life journey

The earth has given us many things

The earth has given us goods and troops

So, there’s no reason to hurt you

We promise, as the living things live on this earth

We’ll not hurt you hereafter

We’ll cure you from this pain sincerely forever
