Hey Man! What You Have Made Of Me Poem by Prayash Gupta

Hey man! What you have made of me,
I can't recognize myself, just see.
(Don't you know, we are the master of the World)

When I was born, I was pure, uncontaminated and lively.
(That's great! But at that time, we were not modernized)

But now, you have taken my identity, I'm lost in myself.
(What have we done? Don't blame us without any purpose)

What have you done? Just think what you have not
done, constructed dams, obstructed my way, changed my
course…
(Oh yes! We did it for hydro electricity; we gave light
to the world)

Not only that you have contaminated me very badly
with all your wastes.
(We have no other options, please try to understand)

Not only my identity, the life of entire sea-creature is
in serious threat.
(Threat-sometimes you'll be threat for us-Tsunamis,
hurricanes, cyclones)

Dear, I'm not responsible for it; it's your own actions
being diverted to you.
(Oh just keep quiet, we are civilized and we know very
well what we are doing)


Hey man, what you have made of me,
I can't recognize myself, just see.
(Don't you know, we are the masters of the world)
