A Midas World! Poem by Ramesh T A

If the world is going to destroy itself what can we do for it?
Nature works in a unique way to balance itself against odds;
Wrong doings of man make Nature take drastic measures of
Long droughts and flash foods due to sudden heavy rains!

Expulsion of sewage gas and vehicles’ smoke emissions suffocate
Polluting the environment unbearable while going on roads!
Even particles are floating in air due to smoke pollution of air
Making developed cities into hell unimaginable by men of action!

Vast developments without proper planning lead to power cuts
That spoil all works and makes life impossible to coup with all day!
Is this what everybody wants to see in the name of developments?
Instead of beautifying cities they are made into ugliest hell ever!

All natural beauty and lovely creatures like sparrows and squirrels
Have left man to live here forever like Midas in the material world!
