The Virgin Earth

Born an enviably sweet virgin
Tumultuous times in this universe
Much to all other siblings chagrin
Charted yourself an unique course
A powerful, invisible shield finding
To deflect rays of apocalyptic force

Covered in a soft soothing blanket
Thick soft hues of colorful milky white
Mystic crowns, vibrant sparkling trinkets
Wrapping you... seemingly infinite
Environment conducive to germinate
Unique beautiful miracles called life

But lo! pillaged and plundered over time
No respite for much needed console
Like a diamond that has lost its shine
Ragged, beaten and an unhappy soul
Desecrated in places beyond recognition
Code-named by humans... ozone hole


Sample STEM concepts: Environmental Consciousness, atmospheric shield
