ReplyDelete1st poem 'Gloom' by Sophia Charalampopoulou (15 years)
Condemned to eternal damnation
You weren't strong enough
Unable to save Her from perdition
Unable to help her you were
Burden to your rotten heart
The quest on which you failed
her bellowing voice you ignored
You caused the death of your Mother
The sacred Earth
You failed her
You had been deaf.
2nd Poem 'Eco-Protest' by Katherine Alexandrou (16 years)
Even if the distance is vast
or the difficulties unsurpassed
Even if I don' t know where to search
or simply where to emerge .
I will save it ,
cause nobody else can change my world !
3rd Poem 'An Earth's Ode' by Alkisti Aktsoglou & Melina Loukanidou (both 15 years)
Dear humans
Your Mother Earth is calling
Your attempts of my killing
Aren't obviously winning
Restrain yourselves
Recycle and clean your dirty mess
Stop feeding me pollution
Start a revolution
All of you can help
Against the scheme of my death
I hope you will at least try
The attempt to save me is worthwhile
Your Mother,Earth
4th Poem 'SAVE' by Theodore Konstantinidis & Cleio Agiannoglou (both 16 years)
Can you hear the earth scream?
Can't you see the pain within?
We must extend a helping hand
Before we all get tombs in the land.
Save the air
Save the sea
Save the planet
Save ME!
5th Poem 'Wandering on Earth' by Areti Tsormbatzoglou (16 yers)& Basilis Kaisev & Basilis Michali (both 15 years)
Gone to forests, saw the rubbish
asked myself who to punish?
Swam in sea and found the waste
Breathed the dirt and felt the taste
Earth is calling to survive
what can I do to keep it live?
Dear planet so sorry
brave the teens who worry
Let them help you to recover
Depend on those who really bother !
Thank you very much!!! Hope you like them.
Well done! Congratulations! Let's wait for other "masterpieces"...
