Pollution Or Destruction? Poem by Pragathi Pamarthi

Pollution Or Destruction?

Rating: 5.0


Nature, the most beautiful gift we can ever have!
From forests to wildlife and streams to oceans.
It's like the most precious flower.
But we are plucking it's petals, day by day.

Cut trees, make paper,
Write "save trees" on it.
Oh, how foolish are we?
We're destroying ourselves,
Well, can't you see!

Polluting the renewable,
Demolishing the non- renewable,
We think it's a strategy?
We're just standing behind,
Pushing forth the calamity.

Many of the undiscovered species,
Might have been extinct before we even know.
Were we doing it known or unknown?
We are sucking almost everything,
From where we were born.

They call this "pollution",
But a better term would be "destruction".
Are we sick or sane?
For dodging axe so hard.
Can't figure out, what's driving us insane.

Running after money and fame,
We are playing, a betraying game.
Nothing is never too late anyways.
We can start living for ourselves,
Instead of living for oneself.

We shall raise our voice,
Realize the truth.
Forgive the past,
Foster the growth.
And start living with the nature,
Than living along with it.
