Summer Heat Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Summer Heat



summer heat it is unbearable
In the night we can't sleep
People opts for air conditioners
For a cool atmosphere and sound sleep

Summer heat it is so difficult
To live in concrete houses
The luxury of modern world
without concern of nature and climate

Summer heat it is so pleasant
Where the home is built near the river
Near the sea where cool breeze wind
And shades of trees protects us

Summer heat in such out of proportion
A problem of much importance
Tackle the climate by opting for nature
In best of terms and conditioning
Through tree planting shaded ones

Climate change a worldwide problem
Planet earth in adverse events
Global warming and climatic change
Today's problem and tomorrows concern

Afforestation not in words required
Afforestation in action oriented
People's support and involvement
The necessity of time to save the earth
To save the humanity from extreme heat

The homes we built opt for climate friendly
Opt for materials which arrests over heat
Our forefather's technologies
They opted for minimum needs and facility

The space we selects for a home itself
Plan ourselves to get maximum air in rooms
use less energy for the construction
Limit the space for the requirement of family
Not for showing money power and luxury.

Glad to read your green perspective. Your love of trees makes perfect sense - people often forget their usefulness as shade providers, not just for people outside but to screen rooms from the searing heat of the sun in summer. Many people's idea of a perfect garden is a treeless patio with a parasol! It's mad. Your last line reminds us what a home should be: Not for showing money power and luxury.
