"Mom's Fever" is a short poem by Dr Binod Pokhrel that personifies the Earth as a feverish mother whose face is turning red and whose body burns with pain, yet who bears it without complaint. When the son asks how he can ease her suffering, her reply is that human greed and exploitation have pushed her to the brink of extinction.
The poem closes with a call to join hands and help Mother Earth recover from her fever, which is global warming.
