Pledge We Must

The rising evil endeavouring to engulf the beautiful realm,
The demon of the disease seems like, humanity it will overwhelm.
The pall of gloom spreading across the domains,
Compelling the world into deadly contrived chains.
The exploited Mother Nature is on a revengeful rampage,
Notifying the obdurate mortal,  that he can be easily be confined to a cage.
To change our ways, admonitory call this is, to the human clan,
Doomed & dead will be, or else, man’s eternal plan.
Pledge we must, to fight united with determination & this too shall pass,
Pledge we must, to remain a sensible & modest class.
Pledge we must, to accept Magna Mater’s grace,
Pledge we must, to slow down our life’s breakneck pace.
Pledge we must, to live a life full of grins,
Pledge we must, never to repeat our exploitative sins.
Pledge we must, to be appreciative of the breaths we take,
Pledge we must, to accept nature’s ultimate authority, for humanity’s sake.
Pledge we must, to talk more than to text,
Pledge we must, to pressure the Mother Earth’s treasures for our generation next.
Pledge we must, to line with passion & zeal,
Pledge we must, not to rotate a maddening hamster wheel.
Pledge we must, to savour every bite,
Pledge we must, to always fight for the right.
Pledge we must, to love a lot more,
Pledge we must, to stay happy to the love.

Wonderful thoughts, reads like a prayer. Amit Sahib, I seem to be shocked at line 5, "exploited Mother Nature is on a revengeful rampage" because EARTH is our home & doesn't take revenge. We see connections ... but is it true. Nature instead fixes the ozone, water, air .... even as we damage them. This disease is connected with business ... selling anything! And fewer die of it in 2020 each month, than accidents over 3,000 a month in USA plus all across world. Maybe 200,000 die on earth from road accidents alone, every year. Glad to talk with you. Namasthe, anil deo
