Emancipate For Nature
Towers and bridges stand tall
The town looks like the macrocosm
Of a puzzling maze, endless like
A deserted tenant less path.
The city lights illuminate
Every nook and cranny, dazzling on
The eyes of every living being
Like a glaring scintilla of fire.
The night sky is brightened by no stars
But the dust, that envelopes the world;
The neon lights flash in the metropolis
With artificial pride.
The world that lies beneath this veil
Is dark from the sun's absence
Barren are its hills and fields
Ravaged by mortal wrath...
Can a humble mind grow along
Like a sapling in a burnt forest?
Can humanity find its way
Out of its penurious state?
Can LED's give way
To a beam of some sunshine?
Who would tell that coal is but
The trees that have died?
We speak of discrimination
Let us stop it from harming nature
Let us emancipate for our mother
If she is still now revered...
