When the Axes started swinging and made contact with innocent,all caring, all providing trees, When there was massive deforestation world wide in the name of development, the homes of many living creatures were destroyed. They all cried and said # Me Too.., but we didn’t listen..we continued with our “progress”.
When the Glaciers started to melt for more than half a century due to rising temperatures, there was a loud shout out, #Me Too.., we didn’t pay heed.
When the rivers, seas and oceans were polluted with plastic and garbage, the water bodies, the marine creatures cried foul and said # Me Too..,we were too busy to hear their pleads for mercy.
The assault on the gigantic high mountain ranges are no exception to the cries of # Me Too..we ignored..
The water tables are continually depleting, and the water sources drying up, droughts hitting nations, crops failing, cries of # Me Too..playing loud, but we are all in the non audible zone to hear the cries of Mother Earth..
When the going became tough and beyond tolerance, the Mother took charge to unleash her fury in the form of devastating Tsunamis, cyclones, incessant rains in retaliation to the brutal assaults and abuses meted out to her by the human species in the name of constant development..but, when such natural calamities happen, we plead helplessness and become humble, and then they just become memories, till the next one happens…
I do hope the human “beings” wake up from the deep slumber to listen to the cries of Mother Earth and bring about an awakening within each individual and create a revolution to save our Mother.
It truly is heart-breaking how Mother Earth gets treated. You said it deeply and beautifully.

Can’t agree more with you Deepika. My heart goes out when I see people abusing mother earth and stripping her of her natural splendor. A huge price man will have to pay if he doesn’t undo and learn from his mistakes.

When Mother Earth says #MeToo, it is time we need to heed her warnings. The incessant floods in different parts of the world and other natural calamities are the best proof of the same. We need to wake up and wake up soon!
