Modern Habitat Of Man! Poem by Ramesh T A

Many birds have disappeared in the neighbourhood;
Sparrows and eagles have gone away except bats;
But crows, mynahs and parrots are seen here now;
Also, some chameleons and squirrels are seen here!

For the few surviving species of birds and reptiles
Food and water are need that they somehow get and
So, they all survive and have become very interesting
Species for the small babies and children to see now!

Children love to supply food for crows and squirrels
Loitering in our house balcony and in the terrace..;
These birds drink water poured on the flower pots,
But never they take water kept on separate vessels..!

Men have polluted land, water and sky by PVC pockets
Throwing away after purchasing materials and other items
In them that are endangering animals, fish and birds
That consume them now and then for want of good food!

All go for milk satchels and water bottles instead of
Taking them from cows and taps because nothing is ever
Reliable due to some diseases that could have infected
them and so, all are deprived of natural food and water!

Modern way of life devoid of naturalness in all things
is what we call as civilization we have achieved by
Our advanced knowledge and technology that have turned
Man into a sort of mechanical being rather than a human!
