CRAS SPERANT

(Latin; Hope For Tomorrow)

Has the thought of nature ever hit your head?

How it slowly collapses as we throw butts of cigarettes.
How it gradually dies as we lead ahead,
And how it casually perishes as the disease of carelessness spreads?

How do we eradicate the city’s pungent smoke,

All the animals crying for help; they are provoked.
And it’s us, humans, we are the only hope
To regain the strength of our nature’s green rope.

How do we obtain again the sound of swaying trees?

The vibrant color of the flowers bring back so much memories,
Of the nostalgic scent of the fresh summer air
And the glistening body of water that seeps through my naked hair.

I reckon it’s the time to open our eyes

To genuinely realize
The disastrous catastrophe we’ve been
To our alluring Earth which now, suffers from pain.

It’s true, that we are the reason

That the vivid, green grasses that we walk upon,
And the oceans that we merrily swim on
Slowly fades away by dawn.

Let us all work hand in hand,

To regain the Mother Nature we once had,
That was ravaged by individuals living on land.
It’s now or never; today’s the only chance we have.
