Celebrating The Earth Day... Poem by AKSHAYA KUMAR DAS

Celebrating the Earth Day..
.......
The cracked earth,
Without water bath,

Looks devastated,
Dried & frustrated,

Where did the water go?
Can Mother Earth survive so,

Flora, fauna, animals to human,
Suffer the ordeal in summer,

The intolerable heat of summer,
Hot waves taking a toll on life in the weather,

The Earth day remembered in summer,
Due to human ambitions the earth suffers,

Parched soil opening it's mouth in awe,
Unless Nature pours who will fill up the jaw,

Incessant felling of trees,
Population explosion requiring space for free,

How can Mother Earth face such a load,
Same earth
sans water
sans greenery,
From where will come the food,

The biosphere in severe turbulence,
The Himalayas to the Polar Regions in cruel human lens,

The ozone layer too becomes a victim,
A hole in the layer terrorises human dreams,

The deadlist arsenal of Nuclear weaponry,
Writer havoc for history,

Whether earth will peacefully exist,
Everyone under fear of war of the anarchist,

Amidst so much of turbulence,
Still universe celebrates the day in opulence,

Oh! Nature please teach the humanity,
Persuade them to desist from their insanity,

Invasion of the Mother Earth time & again,
How can Mother tolerate the madly passion again & again.

Look at sad face of environment,
No balm to heal the wounds of the wrought on the earth's innocent,
....
