Yesterday in the dreams,
I saw a tree weeping at its best.
Asked the cause of screams-
The axe did all the rest.
Its xylem and phloem were splitting,
it was shivering with cold.
But the being was going on cutting-
Thinking for the family and the gold.
The branches were involuntary,
the leaves just kissing the earth.
The tree had marked the centenary,
and now it needed a new birth.
All at once,
the gloomy clouds came in the sky.
The chopper firm at its stance-
ignored the messenger's spy.
The place did warm,
with the tree's demise.
Human did nothing but harm-
to the nature's oxygenating device.
And along all these,
the glaciers have learnt to melt.
Struggle for the environmental peace-
and approach for conservation, everybody has felt.
Don't we see the floods ?
Don't we see the landslides ?
Don't we see the temperature rise ?
Don't we see the fate of the future ?
And if we desire sustainability,
if we want the ocean to remain calm.
The thing we have to seek is-
perpetuation in every palm.
