Have We Turned Insane? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Have we turned insane?
Friday,26th Nov 2021

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys visible nature. Unaware that this Nature he is destroying is this God he is worshipping.
....Hubert Reeves, Canadian Astrophysicist

Have we gone really insane?
and acting as anti-human
the attitude and mannerism
all takes us to think about antihumanism

so far nature has tolerated us
she has not taken it as serious
but we have gone to the point of no return
nature has no other option but to turn against

mountains have been turned hollow
its beauty is allowed to be vitiated
mountain tops are filled with garbage
even atomic devices are placed on the edges

river waters are polluted
air is totally vitiated
groundwaters are depleted
the forest reserve has disappeared

the little sparrows have become extinct and rare
still, we dare to induct clinical waste
nature is also retaliating with cyclones, earthquakes
excessive rains, droughts and diseases

it is the last warning
and if it finds no timely heeding
the world may be seized with not only the catastrophe
but the population may be forced to flee
