A lament of a nature lover on World Environment Day
She showers,
She falls,
She drenches us...
But she shows off a rainbow...
She shines,
She bursts,
She burns us sometimes...
But she lets the gentle breeze blow...
She makes us love the rain
She makes us hate it again
She makes us yearn for a bright sunlight
She makes us afraid of it
She makes our flowers grin and wilt
She makes us cry out of the guilt
She makes our rivers flow and overflow
She makes them run dry to let us know
their worth and bow
Through the fascinating flowers and flies
Through the varied seasons,
Through the falls and rivers
every now and then, she gives us surprises
and teaches us to fall and rise
Cos, she loves us;
Like a caring mother
Like a strict father
Like a playful sibling
The nature loves us all...
But do we love her after all???
Do we treat her well, atleast?
Cutting trees, using plastics, encroaching lands
Throwing garbage in water beds,
Mining sand from river beds,
And what not???
we make her shed tears in every deeds
When her lament is unheard
When she cannot control her anger
She cries, her immaculate tears
outreach us in the form of flood
drought, scorching heat, el nino, la nino, climate odd
Enough is enough
It's high time ,
It's really high time to awake
To make our planet beautiful again
Stop buying plastic,
Stop throwing them on rivers
Stop polluting
Stop the deforestation
Start using public transport
Or start vehicle pooling
Start to plant trees or atleast a plant
But don't forget to take care
Do whatever you can
But please Do it now...
Let us all know the importance of our Environment
And celebrate the World Environment Day...
