Redeeming the earth

Man got all the wealth he required — gems, metals, fuels and other valuables.

But misusing it he found he had exhausted all his wealth.

He reformed from a woodcutter to an agriculturist. For:

He burnt trees, used fuel, creating a new place of hell.

The places where flowers were in full bloom, now prevailed misery and gloom.

He blasted places and destroyed things with a boom

He was now destined to "enjoy" doom

But soon he realised his mistake,

And a change came over his ways

Now he looks forward to new days.
