Don'T Ignore the Neck

DON’T IGNORE THE NECK
One may not have in mind that 
As we struggle to create convenient ways of survival in comfort
We are stabbing our lives from behind;
We pursue riches and neglect our nature. 
We concentrate on our mind and heart desires at the detriment of our neck. 
Our small neck, half in width the size of our waist. 
We forget that without the neck the head has no stand for a living; 
Our heads without which we don’t have to say we are because we are no more. 
Our heart we follow ceases without the head, 
Yet we follow the heart desires and do harm to the neck that holds the neck. 
Our riches are just for a moment yet we strive to even die for it. 
Our neck is a major survival element we neglect as we neglect our environment and nature. 
Our neck is our natural resources. 
Our heart can have a transplant
And even our lungs. 
If so, we need a technology for a neck transplant. 
I feel you might have not thought about it. 
If even you have, there has been no attention but reasons meant for defenses. 
If we have not, then the time is now; let us replenish our land, rivers, sea, air, 
Forest and its inhabitants from extinction, 
And our Green fields covered with unperishable plastic polarization. 
Save nature, plant a tree today, put that filth in the dustbin to be recycled
Stop pollution to save the air
Dissolve unscrupulous mining groups to save our land and rivers.
