Dear mother,
In these times, even if I utter the word ‘optimism ‘, it sounds pessimistic. But every night ends with a sunrise. So, hope is a great asset.
I hope you’re fine, even though I know that you have struggled through various forms of exploitation since your childhood, just like Mother Earth has been exploited by humans for centuries for their selfish goals. You have been squeezed and your blood has been drained just like Earth has been bereft of its resources.
The result is your perpetual ailment, similar to the present pandemic that is ravaging the world. Still, humans perform mundane rituals on Earth Day as well as Mother’s Day by praising both.
I’m waiting for the day when these days truly appreciate your services to humanity.
Yours truly,
A human
