If We Don't Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

If we don't

we fear the death at each moment
but smilingly present
ourselves to the world
with thoughts so calm and cold

no one else has done great harm
so today, we are warned
not to vitiate it further
you all shall disappear

we are polluting everything
river water. even mountain peaks not sparing
the glaciers are melting
the sea waters are surging

what all we want?
the good start
to live at an ease on earth
and avert the possible death

we believe in no miracles
but can think as responsible individuals
the mother earth has to be protected
the measures have to be taken and acted upon

if we don't initiate
it may further aggravate
eco-balance shall be disturbed
and it shall be sole cause to feel perturbed
