What You Sow That You Reap Poem by Sadashivan Nair

What You Sow That You Reap

Rating: 4.8


Blooming Valley,
Drizzling clouds;
Shimmering holy cascade
of highland peaks;
Flow in inebriation,
Finally reach in lake;
Lakes then flow,
quenching thirst of land;
Carry septic substance
of economic growth,
Give life to trap of death;
World is paradise,
But life in hell;
Wake up at dawn,
For a walk in fresh spring cool;
But spring is hot and hotter,
Concrete structures
Have replaced nature's trees;
In public places,
Inhale factory, transport smoke;
Someone said an apple a day,
You live more thousand days;
But how to trust any fruit or vegetal,
When contain,
corporate compost & paraquat;
Heaven for corporate
And hell for human life;
Leaders need money to win,
Corporate needs money to grow,
All on burial of human life;
Grand father once said to me,
Don't ever chop a tree,
For your luxury needs,
You pay one day for your deeds,
Heaven, hell both in land,
What you sow that you reap;

A beautifully envisioned meaningful and thought provoking poem. All the manifestations of human greed and it's onslaught on nature are deplorable. Thanks for sharing.10+ points.
