The World Is In Danger

The supremacy battles among states is a timebomb Likely to swallow us all Like a grave which continually takes our loved once For competition has become the order of the day Caution has been thrown to the wind And there is intensified production globally Industries are set up daily Aiming to maximize production But failing to consider their environmental impacts Nuclear energy has taken a center stage Because no state wants to be left behind And strongly desires ownership in part War is being waged carelessly Destroying life and property Did we ever learn about conflict resolution? For individuality is all that matters Carbon emission is on the rise Sadly, clean form of energy is ignored Despite being cheap and affordable Our ignorance would throw us into the fire The effects of climate change are evident Vegetation cover is thinning away Like a sickly person growing thinner each day The snow cover is silently diminishing While the rainfall patterns have become unpredictable Area covered by the deserts are widening Like a path between enemies They purport to sign chatters Providing funds to mitigate the adverse effects And even make public declarations All these being the face of irony For they are stabbing us behind our backs Hypocrisy hides their character Their greed makes the world unsafe for us all!
