Aniruddha Pathak Poet Crown of Sonnets

Sonnet 1: Nature cares for no frontiers

______________________________

These crown of sonnets on consequences of global warning reflecting on the recent calamities on Tibet-Nepal Himalayan border is a three-part trilogy that mirrors a dynamic arc: 
.The first sonnet is the Thesis (the problem), 
.The second, the Antithesis (the reaction/chaos), 
.And the third, Synthesis (the resolution). 
Thus, in the context of our subject matter, the first sonnet describes the crisis: global paradox on warming and nature’s warning; the second, human exploitation; and the third completing the trilogy, on resolution and wisdom for future.    
_________________________ 
Though man has lived behind a fenced frontier,
He thrives beneath a single common sky
And shares the breath of one vast atmosphere
Framed by a frail ecosystem's pooled pie.
But blind to rising peril, man will stay
Whenever floods unleash a massive dread
To tackle rising tide a frantic way,
Unmindful to what warning skies have said.
The irony: the one who suffers most
Is green Nepal, though cleanest of the lot---
A global paradox that’s quickly lost,
The moral warning seldom getting caught:
    For, nature sneers at borders man decrees,
    Be they the moving air or frozen seas.
