An Earth Day Lament......

Who cares......
if the mercury goes up a couple of degrees
if a few thousands hectares of rain forests vanish every day
if a few hundreds of species vanish from the wilderness every year
if it rains acid from a decade from now
We would have lived our lives by then

an earth day passes by - a friend

This is a reply for my friends words of anguish.

"May be another day you will have ears to hear"

Be frank my dear
do you really care .....
for the offspring's yours
or for the generation next
No , no you don't ..
you simply pretends before the society yours
and before the children yours that you care, really care for them!!

Inaction is as bad as destruction

Can you ... for a moment
cross your hands with eyes closed and proclaim that .....
you gave this earth back to your generation next,
at least ....
at least in the state you inherited it decades back?

an earth day passes by

Holed in your dens you smile and laugh ; laugh louder and louder
while your mother earth sweats each moment for the survival hers.....

Ink mine is drying out and the pen mighty refuses to scribe,
by the lust yours and the covetousness yours

May be another day you will have ears to hear
May be another day you will have ears to hear
Time would still be left then, for you to heal,
the wounds you made..
for the greed yours , and the vanity yours;
deep in to the soul of the mother earth,
all these years ,
all these years.....
