RELINQUISHED

 

RELINQUISHED

Wonderful the world wonderland,

Humans exist, fail to understand,

Nomads prehistoric survived sadly,

Ferocity fighting spirit live reward, (1)

 

Visible pristine nature tranquility,

Tribal lives cocoon, contented society,

Mostly learned enough soil water,

Hunt animals but divine creatures, (2)

 

Language of their own voice finger,

Lifestyle millennium old in nature,

The world was safe, secure, resourceful,

But human need grew up to rule, (3)

 

Education, technology, science hail,

Research development thrives yell,

Seven decades of my life saw the time,

Development to destructions fine, (4)

 

Changed generation, views differ,

Competitive lack of humanity sheer,

War clouds on Earth Day horror,

City change to rubbles reminder, (5)

 

Millions left home death majority,

Time questions human opportunity,

How long would stay sinking,

Land, air, and water polluted, stinking, (6)

 

Now or never, position stare, sadly,

Growing population rowdy madly,

Road violence arson increases,

Leaders of the countries cease, (7)

 

The push-pull of movement size,

Countries, counters of people rise,

Changes in demography, culture,

Internal fight cultures sufferer, (viii)

 

Closing freedom liberty travel more,

Fight of views prejudice prosper,

Happiness, joy, security lacking,

Today's human, fearful, ransacking, (9)

 

War in the horizons glowing sad,

The greeneries river hills forward,

Send a message mercurial stay,

Earth Day humans live the way, (10)

 

No war, weapons, infightings,

Blossom comes season springs,

Relinquished savagery reshape,

Earth Day saves Earth due step. (11)
