KRISHNA KRISHNA!!!
She dances through the city, happily and
merrily,
Taking twists and turns, feeding her
bank gulley,
Usually she is calm and in a happy mood,
Playfully irrigating as many fields as
she could!
She is the mother of one and all,
Bringing fertility, stability,
prosperity for big and small,
Her waters are clean, serene, calm and
quiet,
She comes from the mountains, thirty
three rivers in her, unite!
But slowly the human babies whom she
nurtured,
Have started throttling her veins,
wherever they captured,
Unnaturally, unhygienically,
unwittingly, they have blocked her playful streams,
Built houses, homes, hospitals and
grounds, choking her, up to the brink!
In the want of riches, luxuries and
accessories,
Plastics, bottles, non-degradable have been
dumped, inhumanly in her tributaries!
She doesn’t know where to turn, how to
reconcile?
Her waters are miserable, her mind in
turmoil!
She is fed by rains and mountain waters,
Which sometimes go beyond her quarters!
Confused she flows wherever she can,
Taking all under her wings, rich, poor
and clan!
Blessed as she is, she blesses others
too,
Bringing in greenery, as she flows
through!
But how long would she do that, how long
can she bear?
When everything goes beyond measure, she
has nothing but to despair!
She then runs wild, she gets bloated
unlimitedly,
She has no choice, she tries to shrink
repeatedly!
Her wrath knows no one, when she herself
frays here and there,
Finding her way through, in and out of
gullies, and nothing to spare!
If she is angry, who is to blame, if
nature is upturned and situation aflame?
Let’s think of this, one and all, let’s
be wiser, Big or small!
Let’s care for nature, let’s not be
uncaring,
If nature retaliates, it will only be
our doing!
We remember God, when the situation is
odd,
We start believing in Divine Force,
Only when there is no hope or
recourse!!!
