Mother Nature, Are You Wounded? Poem by Dr Shamim ali

Mother Nature you created the magnificent Rocky Mountains
Named them Alps, Everest, Himalayas,
Humans built their own treacherous mountains,
Named them Plazas, Panoramas and Arcades!
Rocky Mountains are a source of delight and contentment,
Lofty buildings cause fright and discontentment,
Looking up at them from street level.
Fear of them collapsing on top of us,
When one is actually inside,
Or even up on the floor of a building,
Feeling the floor swaying and rocking beneath us,
Being inside or standing close to them
makes us always so short of breath.
Their absolute size is purely intimidating,
O’ Mother Nature..!
Please confess,
Polluting emissions spoil your greenery
And clouts you
Generates heat all the time
And blazes you
Mother Nature admit it please
It is a visual eyesore
For every insightful person
For every incisive person…!
