Another day

Blows through the green canopy

Catching whatever remains on its wings

Dancing birds, buzzing bees sucking honey, butterflies

Eagerly mating in between

Forecasting a tragedy.

Global warming is a reality

How long one can live?

In a world infested with greed

Just imagine, animals losing shelters

Kingmakers, the land mafia encroaching,

Lustily grabbing, eating away ecology

Making money, giving birth to more poverty

Nothing matters, as long as they make their moolah.

Owners of destruction and monopoly

Plunders, capitalists, sucking blood

Quietly, the lawmakers get their share

Regaling in power, they turn deaf and the

Screaming hungry mouths cannot defend themselves.

To fight is to lose and to lose is to die.

Under any circumstance, a downtrodden cannot

Voice any displeasure of being ruled

With a blind eye.

Xenophobia has taken over

Yielding hatred, fighting wars, while,

Zillions of peace lovers are mute spectators.
