Green Celebration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh! No! Not again!” cried Mother Nature in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
Every festival brings
with it some destruction,
Water, Air, Land or
Noise Pollution,
Led by ignorant
people without any consideration.
“Oh! No! Not again!”
cried Mother Nature in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
Rejoicing ten days of
tradition,
Unaware that it is
already lost to modernization,
You kill lives with
every toxic immersion.
When will there be
any realization,
That it’s not just
the aquatic life in elimination,
So is your, sea-food
eating, population.
“Oh! No! Not again!”
cried Mother Nature in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
Are you destroying
the 10 headed evil incarnation?
Or is it the world’s
respiration?
Sometimes I wonder,
are you all really a worthy creation?
Good winning over
evil is a mere assumption,
Your crackers are but
smaller weapons of mass destruction,
To hurt me like this,
who gave you permission?
“Oh! No! Not again!”
cried Mother Nature in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
You think brighter
the colors, more the elation,
Toxins in the color
are lost to attraction,
Wood and water wasted
is just an addition.
So lost you are in
your jubilation,
Unaware of your
actions,
Haven’t you ever
heard of Bio-degradation?
“Oh! No! Not again!”
cried Mother Nature in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
Festivals are a small
part of the demolition,
I die a million
deaths everyday because of industrialization,
Poison in the name of
oversimplification.
Celebrating life is
its self proclamation,
It’s nothing but a
step closer to extinction,
Wake up, children,
from your hallucination.
“Oh! No! Not again!”
you need to cry in frustration.
“Please, Not another
Celebration!”
Celebration is an inevitable
part of our tradition,
Togetherness and harmony
is its signification,
Forget your selfish
acts of recreation.
Help me in my
restoration,
Before all that is
left of me is destruction,
All it takes is the
right education.
“Oh! No! Not again!”
let nobody cry in frustration.
“It’s time for Green
Celebration!”

DeleteThank you, I initially stopped before the last 3 paras and then thought I wasn't telling anybody what to do, just complaining about what not to do. So added this. I am glad it conveys its message effectively :)
certainly it completes it and takes it across :)
DeleteIt was clever, dialogue of Mother Nature. Loved it. Let's take an initiative to celebrate a Green Festival!!

DeleteReading this reminded me of the "Oath" I had taken in school.. "I will not burn any crackers" :) and I haven't burnt any since then. I will try to act more responsibly in case of other festivals and celebrations as well..
ReplyDeleteExceptionally compiled and written very well! I liked it..and a *thumbs up* for the message!
ATB for BAT :)
Thank you Megha. I really wish every school incorporates a oath of such kind. If our children are educated then I am sure we can hope for a Greener planet.
DeleteATB for BAT and have a safe and Green Diwali

Thank you Ma'am. Means a lot coming from a good writer like you :)
DeleteThere are SOOO many one liners in this poem that I loved. I think this has got to be one of the most meaningful poems I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a terrific job! And with a great meaning. I hope people take away a lot from it. Thank you very much for the effort. It's a very special poem. And another good thing about it is - you tried to cover a lot of subjects. You didn't just end at 1 or 2. Terrific!
thank you Kshitij! you made my day :)
DeleteYes, I am glad the poem conveyed the message the right way and spirit. thank you once again.
ATB for BAT and have safe and Green Diwali.
