Lessons

Joy seeps away
Hazy smog suffocates;
Madness bears fruits

~~~~~~~~~


Next holocaust
Breathless dying slowly;
Asphyxia mumbling 

~~~~~~~~~


So many lessons
Unlearnt spoilage;
Malicious intent

~~~~~~~~~


Upside down world
Unscrupulous and greedy;
Exploits souls

~~~~~~~~~


Jigsaw puzzle:
Use things well,
Love people more

~~~~~~~~~


Cash and carry,
Burn the fields;
What AQI?

~~~~~~~~~


One world
Connected swirls;
Extreme pain hurls

~~~~~~~~~


Use people huh?
Make more money;
Discharge smog?

~~~~~~~~~


Ashy fragrance
Too much perfume;
No contrition

~~~~~~~~~


Nature groans
Suffocated earth;
Mankind in crisis

~~~~~~~~~


Humanity
Cruel predator;
Death comes slowly

~~~~~~~~~
