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!
