A Man-Created Warming of Mother Earth. – By Noor Rahim
The devastating ecological changes that humans encounter today
Are just the result of the humans’ avaricious and ambitious weighs
Always throwing caution to the wind and putting it off for another day
Comfort foremost being the mindset without thought to what may lay
In his/her greed for material gains there’s nothing withheld in the foray
The whole World appears to follow this disastrous concept, so to say
In boosting the National Wealth do they indulge and encourage
The exploitation of Mother Natures’ assets to fulfil the National usage
It was in “Nature Studies” we were taught
The results of the ravages on the ecology of the land
Would bring to the humans untold distraught
Summing it: “Man will destroy Nature & Nature will destroy Man”
Does one really think for a moment the felling of these mighty trees
Replaced with saplings/seedlings, overnight, bring it back to normalcy
In the meantime, it has changed the weather pattern of the region
And led to soil erosion with landslides/damage to the ecology of the land
It is in the study of Aviation that one delves into the mechanics of flight
In addition to the theory of flight where is Meteorology to be studied
The requirement of gasoline/fuel to keep the engines working right
The engine temperatures within limits with oil to lubricate and cooled
It opens “Pandora’s Box”; on the effects on the ecology that surrounds
From whence comes the oil and lubricants
We exploit the core of Mother Nature for these purposes
Are we not syphoning off the coolant from the Earth, needs answers
But does anyone really care of these actions
As the World reels in and tumbles into such ecological devastations
With the mind set reeking of “Short Term gains, for Long Term Pains”
For remember, always, “Every action has an equal opposite reaction”
We Homo sapiens always had that lackadaisical outlook in our lives
Keep for tomorrow, what we can do today
It appears that the action that we now lay
Is like that of “Closing the Stable Door, after the horse has bolted”
Its’ time for our dedicated and concerted action “together”
To fight back in the name of conservation
Rather than let our greed & ego get us in its’ tether
And end our dreams of Utopia to end in devastation
– For no accrued wealth off the misuse of Mother Nature is going to save you from the mayhem, that would surely follow.
