Disaster Masters
Is it curse on humanity all of sudden?
Quakes and spates in river even
Where will we compensate all these losses?
Night’s cry, day even silent to choose
Almighty did not choose
Nature did not loose
We developed greed and lost balance
All species are in danger at once
How can we ask for reprieve form nature?
When we have pushed it to the brink of danger
Millions loose their brad and butter
We cut thousands of trees with sharp cutter
Rivers are blocked and dams created
Paths are sultry but entertainment recreated
Dug holes are dry and no water flow in
All sources depleted still we claim it win
Millions are marooned and turned homeless
We have nothing but hunger and starvation to face
Air is polluted, water is poisonous
We are adamant and kept it continuous
Earth plates are moving at deep belts
Tremors are often and constantly felt
Not a single country is safe from disasters
We are the one and only one disaster masters

Falling down the rocks
Millions of water drops
Glittering in the sun
Shining like pearls
Millions of water drops
Ending as a river

Millions of water drops
Creating childrens happiness
Laughter and joyfullness
Millions of water drops
Soon will tide reach
White long shores
Millions of water drops
Animating Waves
into forming caves
Millions of water drops
splittering from above
till reaching top of the hill
Millions of water drops
Without them no sound
No whispers of the living
Millions of water drops
Watch the clearness
From crest to earth
Millions of water drops
For tribe’s best
Beware of waste
Millions of water drops
Treasured should they be
As belonging to all humanity

Close the eyes
We may face onslaught and not survive
If no timely action is taken or efforts revived
Nature may not spare us for committed sin
We may have complete loss and situation no win
Glaciers are melting with sudden spate in rivers
Havoc, destruction loss of precious lives all over
Progress may be around but not to rejoice
No one can claim prosperity with single voice
Do we want compete disaster and annihilation
No fresh air but only poison for inhalation
Nature striking at will with deadly weapons
We watch helplessly ………………
We are polluting air with deadly gases
Ground water depleting with heavy access
No one seems to be worried and tense
We have gone berserk with loss of sense
We never heard of tsunami or typhoons before
So many natural calamities and disasters come to fore
Earth quakes and floods have become scene of the day
Nature may not spare us, making hell everyday
Do we need prosperity at cost of eco balance?
Can’t we see disasters without using lance?
Have we to wait for till last day to come?
Is it acceptable to mankind and always welcome?
We may have to close the eyes and prepare for worst
Who may bear brunt or disappear first?
Future generation may not forgive and forget
Let us build new concept before it is too late
Sea is loosing charm and creatures disappear
Land also not spared and heavily bears
Sky is already with full of aimless objects
Nothing will be left on earth but only rejects
Sea may rise with tidal waves and strike
Cities may be wiped out …………..
Earth may bear deserted look with no sign or trace
Future historians may write with loss of face

How world may look like!
What will be the world looking like in real?
When there will be no life on surface to observe or feel
There will be dead silence with calm water
The situation may be beyond imagination and altered
We are rushing towards same direction
It is pathetic show of over all actions
Not only geological balance is altered
The hope for free atmosphere is also shattered
Glaciers are melting and causing floods
Sea waters are rising to cause enormous losses to goods
Natural losses are still understandable
Man made losses are creating more troubles
We have polluted atmosphere and still do not refrain
It is causing some where floods and somewhere no rain
Some where total famine and somewhere landslides
The catastrophe is witnessed worldwide
Every year we come across cycle of destruction
Yet we go on uncaring for any instructions
Natural aspect is no where taken into consideration
All projects remain on paper with unrelated questions
Land has lost its fertility with excessive use of fertilizers
Multi purpose projects are developed by organizers
They have proved counter productive with danger to mankind
No where it is found useful as people have turned blind
There is total collapse of ecological balance
Lots of upheaval is to be witnessed at once
Many sea creatures are on the verge if extinction
The survival chances of other creatures are also in question
Nature is to be protected at any cost
The disappearance of forest belt is felt most
There is systematic destruction of natural wealth
These all steps have been leading effect on health
The impact is felt all over but lacks political support
Many countries have remained adamant and create no rapport
As result the nature continues to suffer for political want
The world may witness many more tragedies if they don't

Haiti
Can we learn any lesson from Haiti?
Is it Almighty’s curse or pity?
Are we prepared to pay heavy price?
Will we not change and be very nice/
How many 9/11 or Haiti will take place/
Seems nature is in fury and in race
To wipe out complete out look or face
Not a single thread will be left to trace
We are digging our own grave
No solutions but putting front brave
Inviting troubles for unnatural acts
These are known and emerging facts
Earth is deprived of gases and becoming hollow
Creating vacuum which does not allow
Earth to retain its original solid structure
Burdening self with deep holes and fracture
Gas emission is alarmingly exceeding
Sky is loosing layer from shielding
Rivers are inspire and not receding
Air is polluted and diseases spreading
Many islands may disappear in times to come
Rise of sea level is matter of concern and not welcome
Pretty small things drive the population to starvation
It is not far that we may face soon complete annihilation
Palaces and buildings will come down like pack of cards
No warning signal or timely help can come forward
It will be over in no time or in split of seconds
We may rush for help but only to witness the wounds
Thousands have lost the lives and perished
Life is at stand still and almost finished
Chances for survival are simply diminished
Nature’s second onslaught may be accomplished
Are we to live under pressure and constant fear?
Consequences of cruel nature and burnt to bear
Eyes filled with agony and tears
No hope for future and deserted faces to wear
It is humanity call to rush to their aid
No lip words or hollow gestures to be paid
Show of solidarity and sympathy words to be said
Respect to dead and proper wreath to be laid
We can mourn the death and express sorrow
Build the foundation for better tomorrow
All sources to be used even if to borrow
Precautions and measures strictly to follow
Tragedies and incidences may soon be forgotten
We may run the show on same pattern
Nothing to learn from our past mistakes
Depleting complete sources as water from lakes
We must think seriously end playing with nature
We got to take steps to protect our bright future
Future generation may not pardon us for our crime
What are we going to give them for their time?

Ceases to Flow
The course of river ceases to flow
As if smile has worn out and loss of glow
The course lay at standstill
River has lost its way and the will
The river bad has turned arid
As if everything is burnt by use of acid
No life is seen with even slight movement
Waiting for fresh waters to rush at any moment
I hear far cry from night birds
They made no noise was ever heard
The river has brought dead silence
I see it as unusual sign hence
It spells disaster for time to come
Not good sign and hence unwelcome
Not river bank but all streams may go dry
Birds will have to migrate and prepare for long journey to fly
I take it as nature’s curse
Entire blame must go to us of course
The river has altered course or deserted in between
Such situation has never been witnessed or seen
No green grass may grow
No fresh water may now flow
What to speak now of curve paths and falls?
It may be spelled as simple curse for all

Quest or chase
Humanity is on wane
We must do whatever we can
We may perish not because of nature
But due to our folly for spoiling the future
We are digging our own grave
Acclaim victory and call ourselves brave
Show it as parameter for progress
Leaving behind trail of smoke as trace
We are still sleeping
Time is not far away for weeping
Nature is relenting under pressure
All unpleasant actions for sure
America is facing it as first shot
Turning whole continent as hot
Now snow is covering under thick smoke
Wait for some more harsh strokes
Thailand is reeling under flood
People are starving for the want of food
What else you need as proof
You may loose not only land but roof
China has witnessed and some more may
Africa has seen famines holocaust and sway
Desert is experiencing snow and hills a draught
Where else you may go and still helplessly caught
You have polluted water, air and earth belt
The tremors are now intermittently felt
The earth belt is sliding and giving away
In near future we may have the heavy prize to pay
Future generations may be weak
They may have nothing to speak
We may leave behind dark future
As there may be nothing more to assure
You spent billions on outer space
Where as millions die on earth surface
How many more you may kill only for mad race?
Where will you stop with this so called chase?

Climate Change
'Tis said that Bangladesh and Holland will be covered by the sea
And that climate change and global warming will cause World-wide poverty
Yet the advice of climate experts we do never seem to heed
Our disrespect for Mother Nature to our own demise may lead
Millions due to rising of sea water levels of homelessness and poverty will know
Yet for Mother Nature who does feed us little respect we do show
The burning of fossil fuels and noxious gases we pay for in acid rain
And the warnings of the climate experts sad to say have been in vain
Millions of cars and factory chimneys pumping black smoke to the sky
And from long spells of warm weather water reservoirs near dry
Climate change is all around us and climate change it is for real
And if we do not show respect for Nature her wrath we are bound to feel
And Bangladesh and Holland will be covered by sea water within decades it is said
And millions will be homeless and millions will be dead.

Mercy on mankind
We pray and ask for mercy on mankind
But let us also be considerate and kind
It is not disfavor from the almighty as such
We have created position for us as much
Not a single corner we have spared
Blockage of river water stopped and dared
Complete earth bottom is vacuumed
Whole of natural source is consumed
Air too is polluted and difficult to inhale
Complete atmosphere is unhealthy and stale
Yet almighty is kind and merciful
Only we need to be friendly and faithful
To be a friend of nature is only answer
This may be understood only by fewer
Yet the answer is found and lies within us
Beware of duties and try to trust
Nothing may go against us even if disaster
We must gather the strength and muster
He is guardian of universe and master
We must understand and move faster

There And Back Again For Jt Ellison
The river flows unhurriedly
on its long journey to the sea
Sometimes flows fast and sometimes slow.
It does not matter really though
.
All rivers will eventually
become part of the great salt sea.
From whence they came as clouds and rain
to which they must return again
The sea and Sun co operate.
Evaporate, precipitate
Recycling water constantly.
All rivers flow into the sea.
Where they evaporate and rise
as water vapour to the skies.
The chill will change its state again
from water vapour into rain.
Which falls upon the earth below
to nourish all the plants that grow
Without the rain then there would be
no rivers flowing to the sea.
The world be a desert place
of growing plants no single trace.
A world of grey and brown and dun
Defeated by the burning sun.
Although the rain can be a curse
no rain at all would be much worse.
Accepting philosophically
the rain must fall and frequently.
Though sometimes inconveniently
Without the rain where would be
Extinct I think without a doubt
I much prefer the rain to drought.
Though it may rain on your parade
and spoil the plans which you have made.
You should be thankful for the rain,
you have small reason to complain.
Nature recycles constantly.
water the prime necessity.
If she did not then we would die
Beneath a blue and cloudless sky.

I Believe So...
does the wind choose to blow?
do rivers choose to run?
does your heart choose to beat?
i believe so...
does the earth choose to turn,
in perfect rhythm, year by year?
do the tides choose to come and go,
in cadence with the moon?
i believe so...
does society choose to be oppressed,
if only by apathy's inaction?
do we choose to let people starve
when we turn the other head?
i believe so...
do we choose war over peace,
to feed the need of greed?
do we choose to destroy nature
by our very lifestyles?
i believe so....
but can we change destiny,
and avert the final blow?
can we open our minds and hearts,
and reclaim life for the living?
i believe so...

An awakening for nature
How I could be nature hater?
I was to learn it little later
Life needed natural and mineral water
Nature was God’s lovely daughter
No one can be so cruel and harsh
How can we turn beautiful land into marsh?
Where will we go to clean our ills and wash?
Will it not be too late to realize and cash?
The ideas to uproot trees and diversion of rivers
Drying up of its bed and depriving the fervor
What madness we are allowing to nurture?
What best an we expect in future/
Nothing is going right from the beginning
Whole climate is about to witness worst spinning
Nothing can go well with complete provocation
It has disastrous beginning with clear indication
Glaciers are melting with result to spate in flow
Havocs all over and nothing can help us to grow
Can we not take simple resolve at least one tree to grow
As for mercy and genuine feeling with sincere vow
Nothing can stop us from facing the slaughter
We have everything in common to face the disaster
Earth’s inner bed is moving to cause a quake
When will we move sensible and keep awake?
Have we become mercenaries of all kind?
Don’t we see any good reason behind?
It is still not late to understand and find
We can judge the warning from the speed of wind
Many more tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruption
Draughts, excess rain and atmospheric disruption
Still we venture on stalling the nature’s cycle
How can we create blockade in full circle
Nothing is safe with beautiful mother land
She has nothing good to offer on hand
We have hand cuffed her on all the sides
She has only way to counter with waves and tides
Lament not if that turns to be good prophesy
We may die with poisonous air and ask for mercy
Nothing will be left to survive with bare minimum
We got to be vigilant by not keeping silent or mum
We can’t afford to show the laziness or indifference
We got to draw the line with clear inference
If nature is kind enough then we will definitely survive
It has to be all about efforts to strengthen and revive
Let us loose our yoke on water, ground and atmosphere
We may then be from any future catastrophe or fear
If not so then be prepared for all consequences to bear
We may witness new calamities to throw us out of gear

Don't waste the food..
Dusty roads are many, where gutsy people walk,
Muddy paths are countless, where trusting lives live,
On the embankments of river, ravine and monsoon canals,
Millions of babies formed, born, grown and give birth,
We are the tough species to conquer any other species,
We have come a long way not to make it a short exit,
Let us celebrate our victory with the mother earth,
Where her treasure are being stolen for our mirth,
Diamond cuts a diamond; a heart wounds a heart,
We, human, hurt our fellow human for our greed,
Millions roam on the urban jungle for the food,
Millions throw the food into the bin as a fad.

For purpose
O lord, you created me for purpose
I have no reason to go in deep and suppose
I was meant to be unique and alone
I was not to pass it as lone
Being quiet should not be taken as light
In my own way I am obedient and right
Neither have I any urge to make scuffle and fight
Not any desire to prove them wrong or right
I preferred front so not to loose back
Lie always low so not to claim or stake
Dark complexioned but in no way suffering
Smiled a lot with lots of good will and offering
Assertive and bold in nature
I can clearly see the future
Love and not the hate must proclaim
I remain firm but quiet and calm
I am no more confused
Not surrendered but always refused
No to intidimation and arm twisting
To make point clear and always requesting
Eyes always shined and put a fine glow
I was determined to go ahead and grow
As natural river water quietly flow
I retain the hold and manage some how
Darkness always frightened me but not the color
I loved it as very dear to God and my mentor
I am lovely gift from the powerful almighty
I am fine blend of mankind with humanity
I do not believe in cursing
I feel and would love the healing or nursing
I may take it as divine chance to nurse the wounds
Joy and unseen happiness may always be there and found
I did not look around d to attract the attention
I never tried or requested for any mention
I was attentive when all were lost in surroundings
My dreams were in me and not rebounding
I know I may be disliked and hated
I never felt for it or lamented
I am not specially invented
I am the gift and certainly circumvented
I will not ask almighty for making me beautiful
He is with me as trusted friend and very faithful
At no stage I have lost faith but remained silent
There is nothing of any sort to complain or resent
I am stubborn today to face any onslaught
I have capability to earn without being fought
Though victimized for no fault of mine
I feel lovely creature and very fine
I am calm and believe in calmness
Whole nature is like that and so is universe
I call myself to be daughter of lord
Anything spoken for or against is His word

Danger
There is danger atop our heads;
There is danger around us all;
There is danger beneath our feet;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger in the skies;
There is danger in the seas;
There is danger ev’n on land;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger from earth’s bowels;
There is danger in forests;
There is danger in hills, vales;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger from our brethren;
There is danger from kith, kin;
There is danger from strangers;
There is danger to man and beast!
There is danger within us;
There is danger from space;
There is danger to our soul;
Nevertheless, God protects us.

Machhu
Macchu’s devastation
Machhu is name and I am river
Now also people are scared and get fever
Cold chill wave is sent and they shiver
Machhu can send them out of gear
Whole world remembered my fury
Devastation made all over and caused worry
Thousands of villages just marooned and submerged
Nothing was left or likely to be emerged
Why my flow was blocked and arrested?
My patience was not endured and tested
It has amused me and caused embarrassment
Was that for protection without any assessment?
High mud embankments raised around
I was searching some loop holes to be found
Heavy rain in catchments area was round the corner
It was the time for my wish to be realised sonner
It rained heavily and I found my chance
Made heavy punches with water to dance
No one dared to control my furious anger
I was stepping out from controlled hunger
Gave no chance to think and recover
Causing flood and sweeping over
Destruction and havoc never known
Machhu became name renowned
River should be considered as mother
Nothing should obstruct or flow either
Let the water flow in its normal way
I will deliver good and have my say
note: -Machhu came to be known as death river

Water of life
Crystal drops falling from the sky
Bringing life to the dry
Growing plants reach for the sky as they start growing on high
It cures your thirst and cleans the dirt
Water does not choose who is rich or poor, hate or love
It comes from the heavens above sent to us from God with love…
Water in a glass, water in your bath, shower, water in the sea, water in a dam, water in a river and even water in a mother’s womb.
The realization that water is important becomes disrespected
Everyone goes on with everyday life while the water is being infected.
Water may bring life but it can also cut through cities and towns like a knife.
Tsunamis, floods it does not choose who to struck but when it comes you know your...
Take a moment and think to yourself
What water means to your health
Say thank you and stand up for what you believe in as this is one of the only sources of life that cannot be taken away.

Every Life Form
Every life form that lives on this Planet serves Nature in some sort of a way
And no life form in truth is vermin despite what some do think or say
Each life form is there for some purpose whatever that purpose may be
For the worth of each individual species ask one with more knowledge of Nature than me
In a World of over six billion people the pressure on Nature's life forms is great
Pollution and destruction of habitat of many life forms have sealed the fate
Removal of trees for development, pollution of air, sea and land
It surely is at our own peril if Nature we don't try to understand
For human pollution of the environment the price for us all huge to pay
More water-ways are being polluted more trees are removed every day
When we disrespect our natural environment disrespect for ourselves we do show
With a huge rise in carbon emissions so little of Nature we know
Every life form that lives on the Planet serves Nature in some sort of a way
And no life form in truth is vermin despite what some do think or say.

It Begins Right Now!
we live in the most intense time
that the modern world has seen...
governments and economies are
caving from within... the very
air we breathe is polluted, the
water we drink has been defiled.
sea life is being destroyed, and
the world food situation worsens
at an alarming rate... millions
live and die in poverty, millions
are homeless, without medical care...
masses of workers are unemployed,
children grow up on the streets
without hope, and end up in prison.
human rights are being violated,
or just plain taken. and people
are absolutely afraid of each other!
we have closed our eyes, and numbed
our souls for too long. now we stand
on the brink of disaster, and we're
forced to wake up!
so what can one person do? one person
can live in a way that stands for truth...
one person can demand freedom, and equality.
one person can reach out a helping hand...
and when one person daring to live becomes
millions, we can move the stone from the
mouth of the cave!
but it all begins with one person... and
it begins right now, or its too damned late!

We cope with pollution
Water is polluted; air is polluted.
Earth and sound are equally polluted.
Man is doomed; the world is doomed, all cry.
See. Our longevity is on its crescendo.
Pulls and pushes will balance
the imbalance of Nature.
