Mother Earth - Bhayanaka Or Terrible Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

When man begins to tamper
With the rhythm of nature,
Digs, cuts and chops the trees,
Constructs cement walls of unnatural height
Blocking air and space
He is meddling with the harmonious trend
And working of Nature!
When the blue rivers and green oceans
Turn grey and black with wasted oil,
The atmosphere filled with poisonous gas.
Nature's rhythmic dance misses a vital beat.
Mother earth in her anger creates havoc-
The molten lava comes flowing down,
Floods bury villages and towns,
The forest fire consumes the green habitat.
The Mother Earth warns against intrusions
She turns into Bhayanaka Bhoomi-
The furious and terrible Mother!
