Poem
I did see the buoyant bubbles of bliss fizzing out of my charming muse's smile. A bubbly butterfly that she is, was fluttering and whirling around me with verve. She was so excited to explore the beauty of nature and capture some thrilling moments as remembrance for me to string those rosy memories into pretty festoons of verses and rhymes. But alas, she went and came back with an ashen face and harsh rock-hard facts; when hit by those... causes insufferable pain. With angst, I deliver this grievous message about the horrors of extinction inflicted upon Mother Earth by the very superlative breed of hers with ravenous greed they feed on everything to suffice their need to succeed. An empire of dreams they want to build on grave of ailing nature. Enchanting hues of dawn and dusk are overshadowed by hazy clouds of smoke that smothers each breath. Economic growth thriving on combustion of fossil fuels. Always caring to reap more than they sow, countless trees are brutally chopped and their trace effaced in the name of luxurious development. Where once they stood with their crowns held high in the sky and welcoming arms extended for shelter and shade to so many birds and animals, are now replaced by concrete towers and skyscrapers. Bravo, such a triumph for axes, chainsaws and bulldozers! Succulent fruits and vegetables sweetened with saccharin and their skin rubbed with wax for sheen. Plumper they are because of hormone injections. Soil fertilized by corporate compost and irrigated with water that is not crystal anymore. Every drop is infused with wasted toxic chemicals and surges the stench of disposed garbage that begets monstrous diseases. Even the depths of the oceans are not safe as marine creatures are dying and lying on the shoreline. Cheers to the sewage that adds to the quality of water! A paradise that provided us life is pleading for mercy, to be saved from the hellfire that we are stoking. Do we really wish to be the curse for such a blessing? Date: 06/28/2017
