Pursuit of becoming green...!

The time has come that we bring an end

To this old, ancient and orthodox trend

Trend of using the fruit from trees

And uprooting the same when it is use free

We did it again while making new roads

We ripped them apart using axes and ploughs

And later again for the sake of woods

We slaughtered the forests and took every piece that we could

And rivers! Oh what can I say about them

Their tale likewise trees were eerier and full of mayhem

How merrily whose water once flowed in haste

Was choked, as if chained from shackle of waste

Like Ganges, whose sheerness and chastity we pretended to adore

And then backstabbed her by pouring our filth at her shores

Either you call it divine justice or something else

But mother nature took her laugh in the ‘land of gods’ itself

Several innocents lost their soul to that holocaust

And we mortals called it mere design of god

Some referred as ‘religious martyrs’ to the deceased souls

While some called them fortunate to die at heaven’s door

What kind of sacred life are we living in this modern time?

That wise have lost their wisdom, and priest speaks odious words instead of hymns!

What kind of ominous life we are leading ourselves into now,

That even we would laugh if we knew why and how,

That how instead of talking in person to a guy

We find it much better to chat with him through a toy!

Is that the way to maintain our lineage’s past esteem?

Though it sounds so simple but it’s not as easy as it seems

How can we call ourselves good sons of our forefathers and mums?

When we are demolishing their heritage by our so called inventions.

And I wonder what kind of pater we will henceforth become

By teaching the same ways to our own sons to come

There’s still time left to halt our methods of dreadfulness

And think about something which leads to sustainable progress

There are so many ways to bring back what is lost

And it is as simple as we could ever think or ever thought

Just add mere words like ‘green’ and ‘bio’ in front

Of exquisite words like our Chemistry and the fuel that we burnt

See this is the way we make our mother nature clean

And harness the resources while her true beauty redeems

And by making less use for technology and more use of words

We can make better companions and bring harmony among us
