Listen, mankind

I am the only planet created by God for safe habitation of all creatures He made me. But you mankind started behaving cruelly with me, the only planet you are living in. Your cruelty started right from the day you were put to live here. All creatures that I am harbouring have equal right to live & share me. But only you started damaging me all around my body to satisfy your greed for wealth and comfort, totally forgetting what your religion preaches: "To live in peace with all". But you started cutting trees without planting saplings for future. With the help of these trees, I am giving shelter to the world of wild animals, birds & many other creatures who have also equal right to share me. Greed made you so blind that you never bothered about your own laws banning indiscriminate cutting of trees hills, killing of birds & other animals. You established millions of industries emitting smokes containing carbon dioxide, causing serious damage to the ozone layer, which protects us against bad effects of sunrays. Mankind, God created you as superior to all creatures with the hope that you will love all & live in peace with all others. But in reality what is seen is an entirely different attitude full of cruelty. I now put some of the miseries caused by you to me. You defaced me by cutting hills, obstructing natural flow of rivers & canals, polluting them by throwing all wastes including chemicals, thus making them toxic which kills aquatic beings. Remember what you did in the world wars, bombing me using nuclear weapons. Now my appeal to mankind, the superior creature: show kindness towards me & stop all kinds of torture/ cruelty for your own sake & live in peace with all other creatures having equal rights like you. Try to follow what the Chinese proverb said: “Kindness is a language, which the deaf man can hear and blind man can read.”
