MENACE OF POLLUTION

Rivers, where once live thrived
Now drowned in plastic, existence deprived.
Fish, once free, now mere refugees 
Their homes desecrated, turned into time bombs.

The trees are choking gasping for breathe
Once vibrant and charming, now sealed in hate
No longer can they desolve in the sun's embrace
Their essence fading, a tragic disgrace.

Pollution, a silent but deadly foe,
Looms above nature like a nuclear shadow.
A celestial storm, poised to unleash its wrath,
Upon a world deaf to the cry of nature.

Nature has played its part, we all know 
Pampering and sustaining us this far
Even in tribulation and persecution 
Why can't us pay a honest debt?
