AH!
THE WRETCHED MOUNTAINS
Mountains teach, for their
outward beauty, like the distant Moon
Should not be taken for granted
emotionally and blindly so soon.
Even though they, for their
invaluable gifts, surpass many a boon
Many romantic loons are
hypnotized by the both to sing and croon!
Still, no doubt, mountains are
the throbbing hearts of Nature
They are teemed with priceless
and life sustaining treasure
That is too much for any worldly
calculator to scale and measure
Without mountains, would have
been dried all our sweet pleasure!
Mountains are undoubtedly the
Earth’s biggest water pumps
They store in their invaluable
mines so costly metal lumps.
Manifold and myriad flora and
fauna so gladly dwell there
Their matchless contributions to
the Earth are really rare!
Still, they are not even spared
from the greedy human glare
And nights they do shed
invisible tears and do silently blare,
For, they are brutally and
steadily blasted, cut and murdered
No less than games, they are the
easy preys to be massacred.
They are seared, singed, sawed
and constantly scrubbed
They are looted, burgled,
plundered and pitilessly robbed.
They are beheaded, executed,
blown and blatantly erased
They are, by means of
destructive machines, daily grazed!
They so lovingly all of us feed,
drink and nurture
Oh! We, the disloyal humans,
exploit them and torture!
Unless we change our trends and
mend our brutal nature
Imminently, our lives’ tubes are
certainly to puncture!
