Hear My Cries

My Children,

I have been taking good care of you since Stone Age, seen some of your brethren strive and worked hard to live.

It was some years back when there were no internet connection, no mobile phone and no instant foods are available. It was during when man used their hands in toiling the sand in growing greens.

It was during those years when everyone knows the real essence of the word “respect”, “love” and “mercy”. They never get diploma from famous Universities. They have never seen them nor heard of them. 

Your brothers and sisters of the older years have never been to casinos, spas, malls and golf courses. They have never tried getting themselves entertained on some reputed band’s concerts, movie and theatrical shows. They don’t even know how to define celebrities and politicians.

I have seen how lifestyle changed as years passed by, my children. These changes have caused you all to change as well. You have grown to be more intuitive, innovative, creative and clever. 

Oh, I might never get a chance to tell you this but I was saddened by how you gradually changed everything. You have turned the vast lands into golf courses, malls and real estate properties have replaced our modest homes, the once lively and healthy rivers have turned brown, dirty and unhealthy and what do you call those waters that will just suddenly appear whenever heavy rains come? Flood was it? 

Have you counted through your fingers the lives that were lost during floods, earthquakes and other calamities? If you have, can you now estimate how wide the mountain areas where trees were cut? Can you see and check on the garbage and dump sites and evaluate on all of the plastic materials that you’re burning every day? 

The skies that used to be your comfort and canopy; can you tell what happened to it today? All that I see are black smokes coming from those big establishments you call “factories”.

I’ve grown so old, my Child. And this is the time that I need you to take good care of me. Please know that I’m so proud of what all of you have become. However, I’d be happy if you’ll take the responsibility of taking good care of the place that has taken good care of your ancestors. Today is the right time for you to start. Use your creativity, skills and intelligence in making this place a place conducive for your offspring to live in.

Love; Mother Nature
