Environs And We Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Environs And We



Men who lived in ancient days
found out five truth basic
Earth, fire, water, air and sky
elements five- this way!

Chemistry thereon, we needn't try
A single sperm- one guy-
An ovum forms one more pie
Make compounds, thus of five!

The ancient fathers knew they run
as body, mind, and brain
Worship them- they did with pain
Pollute them- not trained

Today, we teach lessons to all
on Environmental science!
‘Ecosystems- we protect them
A need for existence'!

Lessons we learn a better way
by practicing what they say
And practice always makes perfect
Teachings beliefs, what may!

‘Pollute you not you worship what'
A science as simple as that
Hence Nature's worship- one practice-
Not meaningless all that!

This science you teach is well displayed poetically laided out yet systemically named the environs evolve as you mix and match I like your style and I will be back..

Despite the seeming complexity of life as it is now lived, the basic elemental core remains constant as the northern star - earth, fire water air and space. We express them through the yoga, they inspire us in our penning and they will ultimately outlive all the computers and ipods and 'labor saving' devices of the twenty first century. Profound words from a curious soul. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

the more we move away from basics the more the basic elements are disturbed, , , but so is life? ? ?

An interesting write with a great message, unfortunately we humans have gone beyond all reasoning and therefore are digging our own roots. It is not the nature that is at risk here, as it'll always find ways to find new balances, we are playing with our own existence. A very urgent message and warning, thanks for sharing!
