Is it the revenge of nature?
On this huge creature.
What is this mess
Can we make it less?
What has the world gotten to?
Is there anything left to do?
A virus so small.
Stood so strong!
But, are we getting any better in our acts?
Come on let’s get to the facts!
More plastics have been used now than before.
Damage that one cannot restore.
More number of animals have been poached
And many lands illegally encroached.
Trees felled continuously,
And nature damaged strenuously.
Water bodies are less polluted we say,
How many masks in it lay?
Hasn’t air pollution decreased you may ask,
But can we go out without a mask?
Stay away from each other is what we are told,
Maintain social distancing is written out in bold.
Yet, we continue to do as we please,
And put others in a situation of unease.
How much time do we need?
To let every other species bleed.
Yes, it is us humans that do this to them!
For us to understand all this did we actually need the phlegm?
We need to mend our ways,
Before we are left with no days.
