Whispers
In a world of whispers, echoes, and dreams,
Where the currents of change weave vibrant streams.
A tapestry spun with threads of care,
“Building a Sustainable Future” we declare.
Together we stand, hearts interweaved,
A chorus of voices, unified and believed.
From urban realms to the tranquil glades,
The call for change, a symphony cascades.
In the heart of the UAE, where the rivers flow,
Voices rise like the gentle breeze that blows.
Champions of resilience, architects of change,
Planting hope where shadows once arranged.
Arabian deserts, where camels roam,
A call from the dunes, an anthem for home.
In the footprints of progress, a pledge to uphold,
Sustainability whispers, a story yet untold.
Down under in the land of the Southern Cross,
Communities gather, their stories emboss.
Creatures of the outback, a rhythm so divine,
A pledge for tomorrow, where green pastures shine.
In the Northern Lights’ ethereal dance,
Nordic nations join in a sustainable trance.
Wind turbines hum with a promise to keep,
A future where energy flows, silent and deep.
Amazonian rainforest, lungs of the Earth,
Guardians arise with resilience and mirth.
Under the canopy, where biodiversity thrives,
A pledge for harmony, as countless voices strive.
United we stand, a global endeavor,
To build a future that will last forever.
Not just one voice, but a chorus so vast,
Sustainability blooms, a legacy cast.
From Kyoto whispers to Parisian accord,
A roadmap emerges, a consensus restored.
A symphony of nations, cultures, and weather,
We’re building a sustainable future, together.
