Poem: What Have We Done? - World Environment Day

What Have We Done?




The one who loves us like a mother

Who is one-of-a-kind and like no other

Giving shelter now and forever

Our first home is our mother earth

Why are we welcoming her with dirt?

 

For she doesn’t deserve the hatred

In the form of negligence and our selfish acts

From oil spills

To pervasive smoke from mills

From greenhouse gas emissions

To detrimental chemicals

 

Ice caps melting are her tears

The smoke and forest fires is her rage

To the acid rain demonstrating her downcast in the cage

How can we be so thankless?

 

It’s time that we change

Save every water drop

And not cut every crop

To start another factory flop

Skyrocketing destruction to the top


What have we done to our sweet home?

Come on let’s bring our actions to a STOP !!

Poem: Faithful friendship...Happy friendship day!

Image
  Faithful friendship A feeling of blossom An everlasting connection That doesn't break with distance­­ But by the bonds of heart To express itself, it does not need a rostrum It is so unique and awesome   Friends are like pearls Which might tarnish but never lose value Pearls that don’t lie on the seashore For which you must dive to find   A friend in need is a friend indeed The saying you must have surely heard Is for the friend who is like curd Lightens all the spices and makes things sweet To have you complete   Leave the world behind For it says you have no friend true in time For the hatred it shows towards you To portray you are all alone so that you discontinue   ­­­Little does it know the inner self is the everlasting truthful friend That can soothe the bruise And never itself accuse   It's common to feel lonely And believe you've no buddies It's time you come out of this bubble And welcome your
