Hello everyone! Recently I went to India for my summer vacation and I was distressed to see the amount of pollution and dirt around me. People are hardly aware of keeping their surroundings clean especially blue collar workers. Unfortunately I did not have any means and support due to my short visit but I could not stop myself from writing my musings in my blog. I wrote a poem on our mother earth and I shared it with my relatives and friends there. Maybe through my poem I am able to create some spark of awareness among the local people there. Hope you enjoy reading it:)

Mother Earth- Our life line

There was a time when our mother earth was blooming

and  blossoming with no fear

She let everybody enjoy in her lap

 she treated all with care as she held them dear

children played, laughed under the blue azure

as mother earth drifted through the universe

life was bestowed with healthy air and beautiful nature.

awestruck were each and every living being

as mother earth unfolded its marvels and allure

 time passed greed prevailed upon human beings

technology advanced, skyscrapers mushroomed

mother earth surged towards oblivion,

humans bereft her of her colours

her resources they bludgeon

in their race to be ahead of others

humming birds, chirpy children, dolphins diving

all  cry with eyes burning, smoke billowing, nose running

 

heart renders seeing her plight, need of the hour is to fight

against such vested interest, to save our mother earth dearest

Lets join hands and take the action

not to forget we owe to mother earth our existence

 to add she  is our only means of life sustenance.
