RENEGADE
Searching
humans who dedicate,
A
lifetime for regenerating nature,
Less
personal benefit fame sought,
Little
self-interest milking reputation,
Deserted
professional career higher,
Left
luxury, comfort, compensate gold,
Student
career bright awarded capped,
Skilled,
professional experience gained,
Remunerative
salary lucrative offered,
Such
a person rejected the job in a million,
Understood
truly, education an insight,
He
can guide people to preserve race,
Today
stands, the biggest dam proudly,
A
huge water reservoir artificial lake,
Tomorrow
it will be a dry bed reality,
People
can hardly believe it, to be soon,
Positively
climate devastates rapidly,
Catchment-area
of rivers are barren,
Depleted
forest, green cover, mudslide,
Scrapped
fertile soil, bare rocky bed,
Industries
mining earth for decades,
Vanished
tropical forest long ago,
Huge
pits, inhospitable or lifeless,
Eroded
pristine nature totally extinct,
Gone
with forest animals birds sadly,
Huge
lakes got dried up as a result,
To
add salt to injury highways run,
Expanding
metros hunt vacant space,
Building
concrete jungles require,
Clay
for bricks, sand, granite chips,
Humans
need astronomical eating,
Eating
river bed, fertile soil, hills,
Mile-long
metal road, bridge, flyover,
Earth
is blasted for rock and soil,
Granite
marble rocks for flooring,
Dredging
machines collect stones,
Crushers
running continuously,
Halt
this process of destruction,
Who
would believe a pleading voice,
Mafia
strong gun loving will target,
Eliminate
this voice of a person quickly,
Educated
this human challenged,
Begged
for arms of the law fruitless,
Still,
villagers cutting wood hunt,
Killing
tiger elephants for profit,
Rare
birds animals are stolen, sold,
The
person failed to advise people,
Know
village women walk a mile,
Bring
polluted water from a river,
Famine
will be a prophetic reality,
Errant
climate change rain failing,
Parched
grain fields are empty cracked,
Not
a blade of grass is visible, arid,
Hungry,
weak, even sick in a crowd,
Listening
to this human attentively,
Dig
earth, build embankments more,
Conservation
of water during rain perfect,
Build
ponds to preserve water more,
Plant
trees in forest areas mass effort,
Planting
trees on the hillside voluntarily,
Helped
villagers breed cows, cattle,
Develop
milk production ways taught,
Fish
culture, creating hybrid plants,
Got
cooperation villagers are busy,
Neighboring
villages learn quickly,
Big
water bodies plantation growing,
Quadrupled
animal population,
The
renegade becoming famous,
Far-flung
villagers inviting him,
Rural
life becomes a renegade.
