Oh! Our sham Love and phony Concerns for the Environment is so much,
That for a bed or a door, we either cut a Eucalyptus, or a Teak tree touch!
We substitute soil spoiling urea in place of Compost, for fast, abundant Yields,
And we fondly poison with the deadly pesticides our ever venerable Fields!
Oh! So much our forged Love and feigned Affection for the Environment is,
That we wantonly hunt the animals and birds for food as well as for infinite pleasure!
To construct a solid concrete and tiled jungle we mercilessly fell countless tress,
We erase hills and mountains by bombing and bulldozing as we shave with a razor!
Oh! We have so much pseudo Love for and hollow Affinity with the Environment,
That we can't spare Fridge, Flight, DJ for a second, for comfort and entertainment!
To be the Super Powers, we exhaust the mines; manufacture the ghastliest weapons,
And ever purify the Rivers, Seas and Oceans with the sewage and affluent in tons!
Whose Love for the Environment can then be more real than the Modern Humans'?
Who else can match Man's platonic Romance with the Environment even in an ounce!

Beautiful words. Nice thinking on world environment day. Best wishes Sir..
ReplyDeleteYes! Sure! They have innovative ideas to nurture the environment; but it's all like halfhearted jobs what they do.After work in ng heard till they reach the middle of it and the research will give new reports, and they will go for the next leap. Hope they finally can connect these halves well and work it nicely.
ReplyDeleteIn practice, it doesn't work properly. Poor management takes everything in the space and leaving it there, it just floats there itself. These ideas are not at all
fetching any results.
Now new people have come . They started their work. Hope for the better/ best.
We shout a slogan " Happy Environment Day" and shall wait for the same day next year too. One thing is true : the things will be easy to get it done if we have a strong need, commitment, urge,readiness to work hard and will!.
