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
~~~~~~~~~
