The Changing Face Of Mother Earth

A poem which expresses deep concern over the changing face of mother earth and the urgent need to find solutions.

Deep in the ocean there is so much clutter ,       

Do you remember the notes of the burbling river,

the dance of the marigolds fluttering across the creek?

The gentle caress in your face that ruffled your hair?

Never miss real stories from India's women.

Oh! it was the happy and ever so gentle breeze.

The one which is now just a haze,

a mist that you despise and hate to breathe.

The one that gives you only sneeze and wheeze.

Do you have memories of a picnic across the magical stream,

Where the frogs croaked, fishes swam and ducks quacked. 

Does it all sound like a fairy tale dream?

Look into the numerous skyscrapers piercing the clouds,

Strangulating her neck with putrid refuse, 

drying out her salt-less tears.

It is the numerous unconscious choices we make,

that plays an integral part of these chain mistakes.

For once, let us all do our choicest part,

and make this world a spectacular piece of art,

Yet again!
