Pollution - Poem
Tell me is it right
That we sleep well at night
Replenishing ourselves
For tomorrows greedy fight

There lie abundant rivers with pollution

There fly multiple clouds with contamination
And when good food goes to waste
The valleys of the earth bury their paste

Our world is an institution

Of environmental pollution
We choose not to care
For our future generations

And I for one ant guilty

For buying the hundreds of electronic gadgets
That attracts the industries to produce like maggots
Environmental pollution is at the heart dour planet

The forests are dying

Wild life is crying
Millions of fish are dying
Mother earth is sighing

Tell me is it right
That we sleep well at night
Replenishing ourselves
For tomorrows greedy fight
Overcrowded trains
Overloaded brains
Where is the light? Where is our plight?
While river break their banks
And greedy industry play their polluted pranks
