If They Pollute Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

If They Pollute

Rating: 5.0


If they pollute the blue sky and
immense heart of the space

If they pollute the serene breeze of morning
and infect the soothing flow of wind

If they contaminate the crystalline rain
and the cheerful sea

If they change ocean into sea,
sea into river and river into lake

If they devastate messily
the green forest

For their aristocratic life
if the fauna and flora die indiscriminately

If they kill and eat
the animal of nature haphazardly

If they do not allow the birds to fly
on the cloudless sky liberally

If they accumulate the constructive fire
as nuclear weapon

If they abduct my right of speech
and right of protest


Then-
I will lose my six seasons
I will lose my love, rights of freedom
I will lose my love of humanity and conscience
I will lose my strength of pen and alphabets
I will lose poems, where my undying soul lives instinctively

If my eternal soul cannot live in poem
then I will die easily
