An Elegy On Earth

Amidst the darkness of midnight,
Did the Almighty create a place of delight,
He waved his wand over the burning sphere,
And water rushed down to cool the fire,
From the womb of fire did the oceans rise,
And then came out the plants of tiny size,
He painted the place with vibrant hues,
Filling it with lavender,posies and daisy dews,
To add grandeur to the beautiful scenery,
Came Adam and Eve to look after the greenery,
With them they brought the human race,
And they filled up every corner of the beautiful place,
But greed and hatred replaced love and grace,
Which caused Almighty a lot of distress,
Adam had come to Earth to protect its fame,
But his race left it with nothing but shame,
Millions of years passed like this,
And we humans still ignore Lord's so many pleas,
The Lord has now decided to bring this to a close,
And so Earth will now again blend with the darkness from where it arose.
