1. LET'S NOT, FOR GOD'S SAKE, MANUFACTURE WEAPONS!


Let's not manufacture the deadliest weapons of mass destructions;

That can, within less than a second, bulldoze all the lovely and golden global constructions,

That can erase all the oldest and the green est trees of peace, harmony and fraternity,

That can dry millions of perennial streams of agility, happiness, sweetness and serenity!


Let's not proliferate the ghastliest ammunitions for our sordid and short-lived gains;

That can, within less than a moment, call the hell to build on earth deaths' mammoth mountains,

To wake the man-made live volcanoes of limitless devastations up forever,

To extinct all the living organisms like dinosaurs leaving not a liver to respire!


Let's not buy and amass the most lethal armaments emptying govt. exchequers,

Misusing the hard and honest sweats of the labourers, tax payers and workers;

To establish short-lived supremacy, to feed egos with the delicious-dangerous dishes,

To dig the unfathomable ditches for all, and turn the heaven on earth into black ashes!


Let's not, for God's sake, too blindly indulge in the gory and regrettable arms races,

Before it is too late to repent and cry in vain when the whole earth instantly perishes!

2. O THAT WE HAD BEEN CIVILIZED IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE TERM!


O that we had not been sitting on a live and lethal volcano’s mouth

While blindly bursting crackers from East to West, and North to South,

Taking the holy occasions as an easy, absurd and irrelevant excuse

Heading recklessly towards cutting apart the lovely Earth’s life-fuse!


O that we had not been, like the wild and intoxicated evening moths,

Getting frenzidly tempted by the smothering and murderous light,

Before being scorched while mistaking to exude utmost delight

Alas! Finishing off, in an instant, the scripts of our own piteous pathos!


O that we had not been on a mad and blatant spree of self destruction

For many an irrational, unrestrained and perilous exhilaration,

Under the poor pretexts of Religious fervour and cultural celebrations

Severing off lives’ Inchcape Bells as Sir Ralph, with ruinous intentions!

O that we had been evolved and civilized in the truest sense of the term

To lengthen our life spans, and our dearest Mother Earth’ usual Term!

3.SAY, HOW MUCH GOOD TO BURN BILLIONS ON CRACKERS!


Hush! While multitudes of bellies are disgracefully dying of hunger,

For a crumb of bread, countless poor eyes are anxiously looking for,

Millions of hands are haplessly groping for a morsel of appetizing food,

Alas! Say, to burn billions on Crackers during festivals, how much good?


Hush! While innumerable kids are sorely deprived of books, pens and papers

Infinites ar unable to afford the indispensable cloths, napkins and diapers

Majorities are rotting under malnutrition’s embarrassing and uneasy hood

Ah! Say, to throw billions on Crackers during festivals, how much good?


Hush! While many are yet to switch on for only inevitable light

Let alone using fans, coolers and Acs for a sounder sleep at a hot night

Let alone dreaming of other cozy gadgets or gizmos of their neighbourhood

Ah! Say, to flow billions like water on Crackers during festivals, how much good?


Hush! Enough is enough. Let’s all say “No” , on any occasion, to Crackers

Let’s be more sensitive before blindly splurging, in vain, on Crackers crores

Before being the prime causes for Nature’s irreparable and irretrievable losses

Before this golden Earth turns untimely into pathetic pyres and aching ashes!

4.CAN'T WE CELEBRATE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING?


Can't we bid a sensible bye to wine, drugs, crackers, fast food and mutton,

While we huddle together resolute for a New Year's wild celebration?

For, in the real sense, we enjoy less by indulgence or intoxication,

And, alas, we lose inexplicably more: what is, indeed, beyond our imagination!


Can't we stop seeking 'the simulated Elysian mirth' during a New Year's celebration,

Exuded from wanton gambling, rampant rape and unrestrained molestation,

Sucked from late night jazzs, lavish parties, and scrumptious dishes in five star hotels,

And raining money, hoarded by all possible meanest means, on the quasi-nude damsels?


Can't we celebrate a New Year without frivolous pomp, ostent and pageantry?

Instead of felling forests, polluting rivers, lands and space can't we each plant a tree?

Instead of fanning the chocking, noxious airs of hatred, hostility and hypocrisy,

Can't we serve all the delectable and nutritious food of amity, harmony and peace?


Let's be more prudent and thoughtful at the time of any celebration,

Else, we are to blame ourselves for being seized by Perdition instead of Salvation!

5.CAN’T WE BID AN “ADIEU” TO CRACKERS ON DIWALI?



Can’t we celebrate Diwali, without deafening and pollution prone fire crackers,

Can’t we stop being Nature’s reckless, insensitive and tyrannical destroyers,

Can’t we earnestly and solemnly plead for Her safety as the impartial lawyers,

Can’t we take sensible steps, like a gardener, to be Her natural Beauty makers?


Can’t we prevent splurging our hard-eaned means on bursting fiery fire crackers

Can’t we feed, instead, the hungry stomachs, not being Ecology’ s rash wreckers

Can’t we clothe the poverty- stricken naked children with our surplus wealth

Can’t we grow more greenery, at the same cost, to stop Nature’s premature death?


Can’t we rather illuminate our homes with safe and eco-friendly earthen lamps

Can’t we lengthen on earth our precious but, alas, endangered lives’ lamps

Can’t we spend money to gift sweets and goodies among the needy to spread love

Can’t we say determinedly “No” to fire crackers to preserve our unique Globe?


Can’t we all bury the crackers to enjoy a more healthy and salubrious Diwali

Can’t we bid an instant “Adieu” to the crackers on Diwali to live longer happily?
