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!
