Wapas Aaoge mere Sheher

 Global warming, environmental degradation, unhealthy atmosphere, aur pollution and what now have you heard these days? But did you do anything to fix these?

I saw a dream last night,

The view in it was so bright.

Green fields, blue sky,

No oxygen saying goodbye.

The tress were green,

No phones to capture the scene.

Now extinct species,

Were in my dream fancies.

At the dolo bird, I took a look,

Which we now, only see in the book.

Suddenly I heard the birds chirping around my arm,

But after waking up, it was just my silly alarm.

Wishing for the rain, I woke up in A/C,

The sun must also be in Casey.

From the window, I could only see the burning sun,

Then I knew, the Earth was almost done.

Stepping out I realized,

In this society civilized,

The so called air wasn't fresh anymore,

It wasn't like what I dreamt before.

The tress were green around,

But it was just the artificial ground.

The buildings are getting taller,

Earning great dollar,

But can this money buy life?

Or can save us from the suffocation's knife?

We're all evil for this nature,

Without any asset, taking debenture.

The 3Rs and water plans are too late,

Maybe we wrote our won fate.

The movie 2012 has just changed numbers,

The lives would also end some day

Like the year ends at December.

The ozone layer is getting depleted,

And we are just being called conceited.

I'm not a prophet,

But I'm taking a card out of my pocket,

And guess what it says,

Our karma is given by the rising UV Rays.

So let's join hands,

Let's not touch plastic cans.

Let the oceans surf,

Or else our lives would get dwarf.
