Earth Bears All Poem by Ramesh Joshi

EARTH BEARS ALL

Earth bears all its children
Children good and bad
Earth bears men and women
Who make it a mess always
Earth bears all filth of men
of women, animals and class
It bears all sins that spoils things
That men do in their undoings.
Earth gives water to clean
The dirty linen of men.
Earth blows winds to make
Fresh air to make room for all.
Earth gives air to all to breathe
So that its children live in cheer
Earth gives light to the eyes
So that darkness is dispelled.
Earth gives ether to us
To make sound to sense
Earth gives sense to sound
So that men talk and talk.
Earth bears all that is good and bad
So that good be increased in its tribe
And bad be extinguished to bottom
So that all may live in peace
