World Environment Day (Climate Change) Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

World Environment Day (Climate Change)

Rating: 5.0


I look at the sky
That has lost its blueness
A piece of grey apparition instead
Someone has covered the earth with

My hands tremble
As I try to pick up the flowers
The petals are heavy
Like eyelids under the weight of sleep
With fine dusts rising from
Mining activities

They say you will lose
The moon and the stars in
A few years

How can I write about
The beauty of my lover
How can I take shelter at the
Riverside under the canopy of
An illuminated sky of the summer night

My poems will be about misery
Humans suffer in their own hands
And not about peace and love and
Compassion we have been seeking

The future we leave for our children has a negative undertone. Very sad.

As Unnikrishnan says, it's a very pressing issue that is ignored, they don't seem to realise their own children will suffer.
