MELTING GLACIERS

Don’t know why my  feeble mind

In such fetters this heart doth bind

With waves inside oft  rising

Under full moon swelling

To  transgress  all barriers

Inundating poor hearts of coastal villages

With  its  unedible brackish waters

When tears dry up in Hope’s soft eyes

Tearing hearts to  loud yells and cries

As  glaciers melt  under heat in Sun’s unholy eyes

Staring at  mountains’ irresistible glossy thighs

Trees droop and die  under nations’ repeated lies

Their words to hold on to global pacts on ecology

To  airy  nothingness  so easily flies

Without scant regard or love for Nature , man or God

Here  we wait for strange relief  under the ultimate sod

When self-made set of blunders so harshly replies

Who will be there to stop all these tears

and  reply to these fervent  heart- wrenching cries !!!
