Can Earth Be Earth?

Can Earth be Earth when all its trees are gone, And sudsy waters have become unfit, And poisoned life no longer greets the dawn With raucous sounds that death has caused to quit? Will trees no longer wave, with limbs unfurled, On hapless earth, that ever in orbit roams? Will the human ego sacrifice the world? To satiate its lust for pompous homes? Will distant space look down on an orb that's bald? now can hear the mother say, "I was once called Earth. But now, bereft of mirth, I weep. That treeless orb's no longer Earth."
