To clean entire environment
World citizens should try;
Polluted earth and firmament
Will make all one day cry!
Most rivers formed from melted snow
Of mountains pretty high
Are source of drinking water, oh!
Without which people die.
All rivers are held sacred too,
Why dirty them in ways?
All lands need irrigation due,
To raise crops with sun's rays.
The filth in holy rivers found
Defies all cleaning modes;
Carcasses, corpses, urns abound,
Whose stench, the water loads.
When lanes with garbage littered stare,
With civic sense all gone,
Made nature calls in open air,
Diseases new are born.
The air we breathe be better clean,
And smoke and smog be less;
And public places must be green,
And wear a beauteous dress.
Keep houses, neighborhoods too neat,
Keep tidying all the time;
Like separating chaff from wheat,
Do this in every clime.
Effluents should not rivers reach,
Cause harm to fishery;
Let clean be every road and beach,
Life shouldn't be misery.
Yet, cleanse your hearts and minds and souls,
Avoiding heinous sins;
Renew your aims, ambitions, goals,
Keep clean, with common-sense.
Dedicated to Mahatma Gandhiji on his Jayanthi
And PM Modiji

A great piece of literary work Beautiful flow of words Lovely alternate rhyme Above all great message A message that is the requirement of time A message that is to be implemented An appeal to all And a mandate for authorities Loved reading and commenting
Marvellous presentation. An intensive poem I like most. Thanks for sharing. - - - - 10
No one can remain untouched by the pollution and uncleanness of the environment. So, it is the collective duty of each and every individual to espouse this cause. A befitting poem, aptly penned, motivating and prodding one and all to do something about our environment. Fantastic.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Cleanliness is next to godliness and sure on the occasions of Gandhiji and Modiji's birthdays all things composed in this poem would be implemented, we presume!
Thanks a lot Mr. Ramesh Sir.
