Mother Earth Speaks:
Oh, Mother Durga, hear my plea,
I tremble beneath the weight I see.
The children I bore, once pure and bright,
Now cloud my skies, block out the light.
They hunger for more, never satisfied,
Tearing at my skin, my soul they deride.
Their greed like demons, relentless and bold,
Turning life into numbers, water into gold.
Corruption spreads like a poisonous vine,
Their hearts are stone, no love divine.
Oh, Mother Durga, wielder of might,
Can you not save me from this endless night?
Mother Durga Answers:
My dear sister, Earth, I hear your cries,
Your pain, your sorrow, beneath darkened skies.
The demons you face wear human guise,
But it’s their hearts where evil truly lies.
Once, I slayed the demon Mahishasura, proud,
Today, it’s their greed that screams too loud.
Their power, their violence, born of despair,
They’ve forgotten that you, Mother, were always there.
But fear not, for my sword still gleams,
My heart still burns with righteous dreams.
I will rise once more, my battle begun,
To remind these lost souls, we are all one.
Mother Earth Pleads:
Then rise, dear Goddess, with your radiant might,
Cleanse their spirits, let them see the light.
Strike down the demons of greed and shame,
Bring back balance, so none bear the blame.
Let rivers flow clear, skies turn blue,
Forests thrive with life anew.
In their hearts, plant the seeds of love,
With your fierce grace, descend from above.
Mother Durga Vows:
I shall, dear Earth, for I am your kin,
This battle is one we together will win.
I’ll cut through the darkness that clouds their mind,
With compassion, I’ll teach them to be kind.
I’ll slay not just with sword, but with wisdom’s flame,
Reminding them of their sacred name.
For every drop of blood, I’ll sow a star,
To remind them how precious all beings are.
In the hearts of men, I’ll ignite the fire,
Of peace, of balance, and pure desire.
Together, we’ll rise, as nature’s rebirth,
To bring back harmony upon our Earth.
Together, They Sing:
Oh, humans, awaken, it’s not too late,
To mend the world, to change your fate.
With love as your weapon, not power or greed,
Nurture the Earth, fulfill her need.
For Durga’s power and Earth’s embrace,
Together shall bring you back to grace.
When you walk in balance, in peace and care,
You’ll find paradise, always there
