White Earth Poem by Yasmin Sawhney
White Earth
Green brownness
in soundless retreat
stung by the savage stride
of the ravenous cityscape.
Mock slogans ‘Save the Earth'
dart the defenseless Earth-breast
even as kilns like giant pestles
pound its essence
to turn its colours pale
to a dry bare white earth.
A White Earth!
though you are indian but i appreciate your poem, it inspired me to praise your words
in soundless retreat dart the defenseless Earth-breast yes we are turning the face of earth pale... we are callous. we destroy nature, the earth, the enviornement. we all want money, money.... we will do everything for that.......... what a terrible world. your words are conscientising the world. than k you for opening the eyes of the reader through ur verses. tony

Mock slogans ‘Save the Earth'...yes, we slogans only to save the earth but actually we do not take care of her, instead of this we do harm to her by cutting trees and polluting environment. It is a beautiful poem on environment which can bring consciousness to readers. Thanks for sharing.
