Modernity Throws Sand On Great Expectation! Poem by Ramesh T A

Sans thinking of pollution and its dangerous effects,
Many have introduced technologies and turned forests
Into cultivable lands with greed for business profits
Promising heaven by civilization in the modern world!

Due to too much industries leading to pollution and
Shrinking of cultivable lands, long droughts have come,
Rivers have dried up with no good water to drink or
Irrigate agricultural fields leading to buying waters!

Great expectations are there to see paradise again,
When cultivating new crops, planting seeds for flower
Trees and green plants everywhere and planting trees
All along the roads to bring rain and water to Earth!

But climate change brings cloud bursting rain and goes
To destroy all crops at harvest time or sudden forest
Fire destroys all trees and towns unless rain falls to
Subside fire or volcanic eruption throws sand on dreams!
