AN AWAKENING
Spring painted in water colours now,
An awakening that gardens miss Spring blooms,
Green parks,serene woods,open spaces,
Forest,nursery,horticulture sites in gloom.
Playgrounds,a meeting place for young and old,
Vanished to caprice of hoteliers,commercial builders,
For skyscrapers,shopping malls,night clubs sold, Graveyard of Nature now on concrete shoulders.
Population,corruption,materialism flourish in gaiety,
The vultures of nature’s beautiful sanity.
Now only in art galleries flowers will surround,
In oil paint,water colours and plastic paints were found.
Nature’s pillars of foundation crumbling,
Every life on Earth hide an ocean of suffering,
An awakening to environmentalist to tell this story,
Live in a fake world or save the faded glory.
