GLOBAL WARMING IN TORONTO NEW YORK LONDON TOKYO
Poem by Chan Mongol
1998
We are very cruel, wherever we go;
In Dhaka, Toronto, New York, London, Tokyo.
We don't see jungles as before and no real breeze;
Only those high-rise and no more trees!
In the natural way, breeze does not blow;
But in anger, in zigzag and in hollow.
We hardly see those important living trees;
Rather, lifeless buildings, stones in cities!
Alas! Animals and birds were kicked out;
For our noises and tools, dynamite-shout!
Their land, livelihood, life got destruction;
They all became homeless for our habitation!
We are selfish, greedy and the killer being;
We murdered them for our living and amusing.
We are rude and brain washed creatures;
Claiming that we are superiors and only rulers!
Anything on earth, in water and in space;
To serve and die for our causes, for human race.
First, we kill species trees to make our buildings;
We hardly think of other lives, others beings!
We are very cruel, wherever we go;
In Dhaka, Toronto, New York, London, Tokyo.
We don't see jungles as before and no real breeze;
Only those high-rise and no more trees!
