Air Conditioner… Poem by Abhishek Singh

Air Conditioner…

Rating: 5.0


The persevering efforts of Wills H. Carrier brought me into this beautiful planet Earth,
Having made to the top ten innovations of the century, I too have highlighted made my presence's worth.

Being born fat & bulky, I was limited to common peoples preaches & fantasies,
But with my dedicated efforts, I soon transformed into every household's topmost necessities.

Once my supreme presence in the neighborhood, imparted me the status of an eminent race,
But today now I have to jostle hard with my brothers for a convenient Eave Space.

Once I enjoyed a luxurious life, with quarter-hour breaks in between each duty cycle width,
But now few minutes of unintentional leisure, invites slaps to my baby (read remote) , with him gasping for breath.

Earlier the ubiquitous green jungles, allowed me intake fresh air with a soothing sensation,
But now, their manmade concrete replacements, helps to choke my lungs with dirt & pollution.

I have turned more than twice as Energy Efficient than what I was two decades ago,
But humans still remain callous towards Energy conservation, turning my efforts as futile in just one go.

My parents brought me up preaching about compensating for their unholy role in Ozone layer depletion,
Sorry would they now be seeing humans develop new methods in rocketing towards environment destruction.

I am forced to be present in every possible facet involving human interface,
But I am too small an individual to compensate for the rising global temperature menace.

I have devotedly contributed my whole life towards the betterment of the Human civilization,
And now humans need to act swiftly in their duty towards Plant's perpetuation.

It's high time developed as well as developing countries realize that if the current rate of CO2 emission is continued, then as we had to move from Conventional/Natural Cooling to HVAC systems as a necessity. Similarly portable Air Conditioner for every person as a possibility cannot be ruled out.
Along with it, many major cities of the world facing looming threat of getting drowned under the oceans.

The poet, in a very unique way, tells the story of an air conditioner and then draws our attention towards pollution and environmental degradation. We have to fight the menace. But humans still remain callous towards Energy conservation Ozone layer depletion, towards environment destruction.
