2021: Respite From Retribution!



The wave of calamities unleashed in 2020
Cyclones, tornedos, earth quacks n pandemic.
Mother nature for grievous injuries inflicted on you,
Was that retribution for mankind to grieve!

On slought on environment and deforestation
Reclaiming of land from deepest oceans,
Big band nuclear explosions in your stomach,
Unholy competition that hurt you so much.

Razing of hills, changing river courses,
Replacing flora habitation with concrete jungles,
Destabilizing, thus, environmental equilibrium
Stance of being a parallel almighty by human!

Let the Retribution end with year 2020
Oh mother give us respite n New Hope in 2021.
