Oh! Humankind Relax And Slow Down A Bit

Rating: 4.5


Living in a pigeonhole, human mind is crammed
Living in a cubbyhole, human heart is jammed
Living in a rabbit-hole, Human idea is burned down
Living in a cavern-hole, human soul is whittled down
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

Man is corroding fishes and collapsing fisheries
Man is foundering forests; trees are dropping like flies
Man is converting grass lands in barren grounds
Man is transforming Croplands in buildings four
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

From one side nature is exploited
Yet another side nature is polluted
Forest is the power house of evolution
Yet it is under extinction ………….
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

Ozone protects earth from ultra violet rays and death
Yet by polluting, it is being depleted by human wrath
For his survival, ready to butcher 300 million species and more
Man is clobbering biological systems four
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

Mate! Wallow in the beauty of the universe, thence
Relax and slow down a bit; maintain ecological balance
Fellow! Listen to the music of wind and be wise
Pal! Feel musky aroma of flowers; otherwise
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

With wisdom enjoy nature’s gifts
Why are you rushing with 3 shifts?
Why are you running in the path leading nowhere?
Calm down and natural smile otherwise, hear somewhere
Gloom-gloom, bloom-bloom, Humankind meets doom

I can understand your concern about degradation of forests and nature by humans. It is a heinous crime and we are marching towards the edge of extinction. Very nice poem. A thought provoking one. Thanks for sharing.
