Depleting Earth

The Earth that’s ours
                  Now stares at us
                  As it is no more
                  The Earth it was.

                 The charm and beauty 
                 That was of the globe
                 The cruelty of human
                 Is have to be probed
 
                 Smoke and dust
                 The fury and fuss
                 Has brought the earth 
                 On the verge of crush 

                The bleeding greenery
                And the filthier water
                That human has pierced
                As a professional darter

                The war’s and tests
                The desires and aspirations
                The planet now faces
                A state of depression

               The waters have risen 
               To the limits overhead
               And after a moment 
               They will start to spread
            
               Nature’s fury will also emerge
               As cities and towns
               Will burst and submerge
               In a situation that will surely be adverse
 

                ‘Beware’ One Day will come
                 Either later or soon
                 That we may see morning 
                  But not the noon.
