Save your mother


Save it – O Man

Earth, water, fire, air and space,
The world is made of five elements;
Laptop, mobile, Ipod, Printers,
Concrete, glass, iron and steel;
Money, gold, silver, platinum,
Petrol, diesel, LPG, kerosene;
The world is made of five elements;
Lakes, rivers, waterfalls, rains,
Rocks, hills, mounds, mountains;
Clouds, dew, pearls, mist,
Rainbow, roses, corals, cool breeze;
The world is made of – five elements;
What Man is made of – five elements,
The five elements have multiple formations,
Through different permutations and combinations;
Some help the nature, some cause devastation,
Some add to its beauty, some cause horrification;
Man – made of five elements,
Tampers and transforms these five elements,
Pollution, adulteration, toxification results,
GHGs, CFCs, radioactivity results;

Man’s comfort gives nature discomfort,
ACs, Refrigerators dig holes in ozone,
Industries, chemicals kill lakes, rivers, seas,
Still man calls himself development prone;
So the status quo stands like this,
Man is cleaning whatever he made dirty,
He is undoing climate change and pollution,
Or else he will face unending adversity;
Yes, man is trying to wake up,
He is finally taking nature’s call,
But vested interests have always ruled humanity,
And rendered all good initiatives small;
So man fights with some other men,
And man fights to save all men,
For there has arisen an emergency,
Which has potential to cause exigency;
As more and more men wake up,
As more and more voices unite,
Weaker and weaker will become the naysayers,
And man will have stopped nature’s plight.

  1. I wrote this to convey the message of conservation. Seeing a program on Discovery channel moved me and brought out this poem.
