Prompt- 'Ecofrinedly- Write about going green or an enviornmental concern you have. From thinkwritten.com

The gates of heaven remained closed

And the golden globe was blazing in the sky.

Earth writhing in it's sweltering heat,

Craving and thirsting for a drop.of rain.

Her eyes were now filled with fear not tears.

Fear for her children, who were destroying their future.

The patches of brown, were now abundant on her green skin

A malady, only the raingods can heal.

She cried out to her children, for help,

Yet there was not a drop of kindness in their hearts.

Mother Earth continued to watch the gates of heaven,

Waiting for the rumble of thunder, as they opened.

Though I'd seen this topic, I never paid much attention. Thanks to SilverOwl125
It was after reading her poem with this same prompt, that I got inspired to write this.
