The right to have Everything Clean !!!

                                       I born to this planet as equal to others;
                                       Yet, I showered with 'less pure' always.
                                       My forefathers had everything clean; be it air or water;
                                       As they were the first dwellers on the orb.
                                       As the time passed, aeons gone by;
                                       Nobody cared about the novelty long gone.
                                       They competed to exploit the asset of mother earth;
                                       Less cared about saving for future.
                                       Then when I came, I have nothing natural;
                                       I'm forced to live with inferior and polluted.
                                       Don't I deserve to have everything clean?
                                       Don't I worthy of my planet afresh?
                                       Don't I liable for the future to come?
                                       Do I have a clean legacy to pass on?
                                       Here I proclaim my vow to restore Gaia;
                                       As it was in the time of its prime.
                                       To reinstate the full glory of her;
                                       As in the time when she was unaltered.
                                       As I deserve to have everything clean;
                                       My followers deserve the best of this globe.
