Alas! We are no longer the same past pristine Homes,
For the countless useful tiny and giant aquatic lives;
Which are now endangered to succumb and untimely die,
For, they are too helpless to protest and resist the poachers' Knives!
Alas! We are no longer the same past life- sustaining Nectar,
For the innumerable miserable living organisms or animals,
Which can now no longer drink from us a drop of contaminated water!
We can neither be irrigated for the existence of the terrestrials!
Alas! We are no longer considered so much holy or so much sacred,
For, the effluents of the affluent have poisoned the innocent bread!
We have been turned the dumping grounds, and the sewage-beds,
We have too been an easy prey to the evil plots and the foul trades!
Thus, it is high time we were paid due respects and proper cares,
Else, breaths on Earth, will soon perish, and souls will regrettably be rare!
Humans may imminently be trapped by their own inescapable snares,
And, either to take pity on them or protect them, none will be spared there!
