Desecration
The present day evils we acknowledge
Are the consequences of our sacrilege
Committed by us, humans of all age
We owe it to greed, avarice and pillage.
No restraint on pinching the resources
Results in rapid depletion of reserves
In our appetite for utilization of assets
Show contempt to nature’s belongings.
If we do not cultivate a healthy attitude
Mother Nature may express her anger
In many ways with unknown magnitude
By abandoning the customary solicitude.
Thus it is high time to rise and wakeup
And set right, in earnest all her make-up
Let us not fail the mother in her keep-up
And with a firm resolve, let us stand up.
Let us not fail to realize her deep sadness
By doing-away with our total selfishness
To save ourselves as well as our progeny
Let us not become our own worst enemy.
