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?

Why Are We So Greedy
To the Earth Mother who feeds us disrespect we do pay
That future generations may have to pay for one day
Of stealing from Nature's resources billions some do make
Why are we so greedy that we take and we take?
In disrespect for Nature through innocence lost
The success of us humans could come at a cost
The ways of Mother Nature we do not understand
We pollute the air, seas, waterways and land
'Tis Nature resources made the oil dealer a billionaire
Yet of Nature's beauty such types not aware
We do not own Nature though to her we belong
And to her many of us have done wrong
And for our crimes against her future generations may yet pay
That seems a sad thing for to have to say.

Little tolerent
Nature has taught us to be tolerant
Forget about past and live in present
Try to adjust with changing mood
As mind and body both need fresh food
Don’t try to stagnate and sit idle
If you are really enterprising and capable
World may be full of problems and troubles
But try to face it and never crumble
We have to learn from the nature
It only protects our future
It has much to give in return
We must look forward and positively turn
Nature has never deceived
Even thought enough of cruelty is received
Trees are cut and deforestation is on large scale
Time is not far off when our face may turn pale
Nature is changing fast
It is feared world may soon last
Desert is experiencing snow
Rive are in spate and madly flow
The earth is often threatened with tremors
Shocks are sometimes not observed
But wherever it has taken place
Complete destruction is caused in all the cases
We have polluted every field
Nothing is to be secretly yield
We may not be in position to hold little later
Earth may look barren and there won’t be anything to cater

For Future Generation
Are we cursed by nature?
A pertinent question asked to assure
What can be for us in store?
How do we sincerely try and explore?
Nature lovers explain it fully
Public awareness is raised successfully
Almost all people know about its implications
Earth is loosing its importance with clear indication
Sea waters are polluted with nuclear dumping
Ship breakers release radio active material while pumping
Glaciers melt while nuclear tests are on
Rivers flood at alarming level and warning has gone
Air is filled with poisonous release
From vehicles and its heavy use
New diseases find place with complete immunity
As medicines are yet to be found with best quality
Can we not go back to the nature?
Think seriously and secure the future
We are yet not that much alarmed
As nature has its fine core even after being harmed
Let us do it for future generation
Give them pure water to drink and air for inhalation
Let them not down with incurable diseases
Else man kind may refuse to exist and cease

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?

A real mess
We are paying through our nose
Any catastrophe of serious nature we can’t assume or suppose
It is definitely on the card and no one can esc ape from it
We are digging our own grave still not forcing eyes to meet
Not a single concern is expressed officially or publicly
Everything is moving in casual manner fake promises made orally
Some fund may be earmarked for perseverance of green nature
The world may be satisfied with this little assurance in future
We are cheating our own conscience and increasing hazards
We have compromised everything with the fall in standards
Industrial progress at the cost of depleting natural resources
We won’t know one day there will be nothing left to find out the source
We are bound to suffer and pay in enormous quantity
We are not on correct path and making quest in futility
Nothing goes on in the right direction and with speed
We are uprooting the trees and not attempting new to seed
Ground water level is depleting at alarming level
There is increase in fluoride and we are not faring well
All water related diseases are on increase with more concerns
How can we remain disassociated or completely discerned?
There is heavy under current change in inner belt
Its changes are causing havoc and definitely felt
Some of the dead volcano wells are activating
No attempt is on card for its deactivating
The vast area of sky is covered with ashes smoke
Many parts of globe reel under the fear of deadly stroke
There is fear of blanket cover of thick fog
we can do nothing but to watch its block
Why do we play all seek and hide from nature?
Are we not mature enough to think about future?
Do we still need more time how to contain natural disasters?
When al parts of world fear greater Tsunamis clusters
We may perish and sink altogether
The world may still remain unaware not bother
The world leaders may meet and think of earth’s meet
Have the peg of wines and warmly greet
Who can save us from global catastrophe?
Who will present best idea and win the trophy?
Will the novel ideas may help strengthen the nature’s cause?
The leaders may depart with the prevailing silence and pause
We are loosing rich heritage
Green jungles are our best friends with some advantage
We stand on fast loosing track or edge
We are simply ignorant for the want of knowledge

We are on loosing spree
Death is available totally free
We have destroyed the trees
We soon may be bending our knees
Time is not far off when there will be turn in atmosphere
We won’t find safe place to go anywhere
Where is the space to move here and there?
We are acting irresponsible and not fare
The nature is giving in to mad race
The natural wealth is loosing its face
There complete hollowness in earth’s belt
The consequences may be known later or felt
The earth is sliding and gradually and making way
The extraction of oil and coal has taken security away
The secret movement under the earth belt is causing worry
The day is not far off when we will feel compete sorry
There may be devastation all over
We are loosing shield and nice cover
The sky is over burdened with useless objects
There is no control over stupid and unreasonable acts
Tidal waves are rising to dangerous level
The rivers are in spate as bad sequel
The banks are threatened with complete destruction
It may swallow it anytime with dangerous inductions
What to think of sea, air or land?
We can’t blame it on unseen hand
The nature has always acted as friend
We are hell bent upon bringing an end
The end may not be easy and quick
We must stop playing the dirty tricks
The generation may be faced with dangerous diseases
It will be an appropriate reason to go down and cease

Holding Progress
In our hands is it and here!
Best of perfections with real approvements.
Miracle of emotional chance of
waves from heaven, earth, universe
Talented glory floating up over the walls
Prosperity of humanitarian actions
Courages to motivate our future

Blessed brightest future might be
Together starting future in pray
All over the doings of

Spectacular feelings, fightings
Conglomerate of great real world
An ideal work on it
unchained open-minded
Inside the ocean of past, destiny, future
Desirous with actions
Should it be all humans together?
In name of humanity, prosperity,

Polluting Politicians
the beauties that GOD has given
makes this life worth living.
you see his beauties every day
it is something that won't wash away.
and to him i do pray.
we pray to you with all our might.
for a little bit more of 'insight'
open the eyes of the public
so that they can see.
that we must leave something
to future families.
we must give the politicians a time frame
and have them stop playing these games
the games is whats destroying this nation.
let's get them to work for future generations.
of global warming they all speak
but when they have the bill in front of them
they just take a peek.
we are destroyong this world
from the inside out.
'is this what lifes about'?
we are polluting our streams, rivers
and oceans too.
how much more are we going to do?
our streams used to be crystal clear
now to look- we must take fear.
tires, cars, metals of all sorts
are lying in the rivers and streams.
let's pick them up and get them clean.
they are sinking battleships in the oceans
and they claim it's to make reefs?
take these ships and recycle the metal
to be used for our future generations.
if you don't want retaliation.
scientists are already seeing
that in a few more years, we won't be breathing.
we are taking all the oxygen from the air.
is'nt that something that we should 'fear'
pollution has gotten so heavy and thick
that's whats making the public sick.
it's time to turn this earth around
so future generations can be found.
let all the politicians know today
that we want to live a better way.

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

Nature's fury
Nature's fury
I am in no mood to talk
Refuse to breathe fresh air and go for walk
Somewhat I feel uneasy and could think no more
When the people will end thrust to explore?
Have we not gone too far?
Probed so much in sky and now rushing to stars
Entire orbit has become dangerous and risky
We enjoy our achievement by celebrating it with whiskey
On earth many people die of hunger
Bulk of the population starve and suffer from anger
They take to arms and hunt for justice
What has happened to us for not keeping the promises?
Nature has turned rude and now threatening
Sky is ready to strike with powerful lightening
Sea waves rise to alarming level and plunder its coast
We have done nothing to preserve nature and that dearly costs
Tsunami, earth quakes and eruption of lava is witnessed
Its origin with causes is ascertained and traced
Sea waters and mountains are polluted
The nature is reduced and its impact diluted
We hear catastrophe in many pars of the world
The deserts are experiencing snow and getting cold
Snow is melting alarmingly and causing floods
Many parts come under water cause the shortage of food
Despite all this we have turned executioner
Shoot innocent people and make them sufferer
Where else to go for remedy and pray?
So the nature is turning against in all the ways
It was heard occasionally about natural calamity
Now it has become regular feature with continuity
Let us be wise and think seriously about nature's fury
Let each one of act independently and think as that of jury

It's All Future Life We Betray
For our children will there be a tomorrow,
That's our responsibility now,
Are we leaving them with heartbreak and sorrow?
Will it be misery on them we endow?
Are we doing enough to ensure a good life?
For all of our future generations,
Or will we leave them with nothing but strife,
All caused by our present creations.
Nuclear power and our weapons of woe,
Are now getting out of control,
Mass destruction created wherever we go,
We are tearing out our Earths soul.
Our resources on Earth are dwindling fast,
As each second another life is born,
Less to go round means before time has passed,
We leave someone else feeling forlorn.
If we continue on our present course,
Our species future will be in serious doubt,
Humans from reality they tend to divorce,
It's the very laws of nature we flout.
Would you watch your child starving to death?
While you eat your ten course meal,
Well we watch as others take their last breath,
Without giving a damn how they feel.
We have the resources we have the power,
To alleviate their suffering forever,
But mention the cost and the financiers glower,
It's neither cost effective nor clever.
Profit is what motivates the Human Being,
Not morality or sympathy for others,
The starving can die whilst the rich are out skiing,
Self-interest and greed are what smothers.
When we leave the vulnerable unable to cope,
To ensure we enjoy life today,
As they die in despair without any hope,
‘' It's All Future Life We Betray ‘'
Pack of cards
'Come to me, I will take care'
Lord Krishna told and warned to be beware
Act as per conscience and in conformity
There won't be any cause to feel later on pity
Some of the answers lie with nature
They are to be preserved for very sure
Nothing is done against its structure
We as human being will have to assure
Now a day’s desert is experiencing snow
Ice winds cut across and blow
Seasons are changing and play havoc
The nature may have something bad in stock
Rivers are causing damage and always in spate
The damage and losses are difficult to state
We have played enough against and now must be ended
Nature is totally neglected and seems visibly offended
This can be termed man made tragedy
We must be prepared and get ready
Still it is not too late to remedy
Enough can yet be done to make it steady
Rising flames will engulf all
Radiation hazard may rebound like ball
Whole atmosphere may be polluted
Who knows what future for them may be committed?
No object can stand onslaught of nature
Nothing can be made full proof and secured
They wall fall like pack of cards
It will turn complete area into graveyard

Third eye
Lord Shiva has opened third eye
We are in no position to ask why
We are playing with dangerous fire
Nature is against us and tired
What have not done to alienate the nature?
Why have we done to bleak our future/
Not only air but even sky is made hollow
More of such consequences are bound to follow?
The plates under earth belt are making move
Strike against each other for vacuum to remove
Unknown movement may shake the whole world
People may fear and experience shiver with cold
Still we blow same whistle
Not think of what has gone wrong meanwhile
We may shed some tears and forget
The causes must be made known or let
We are making land hollow
Gas and oil extraction further worsens and allow
We are digging our own grave to term it natural disaster
What else can be named it worst joke with laughter
Let us mourn the death of innocents
They deserve sympathy and sad comments
The loss could have been avoided
Alas! we had some respect for nature and advice heeded

Future Babies
A flower stands erect upon the stem.
Odd:
It bears the naked flesh of many men –
Pulsing, writhing, arteries humming;
Androgenic fluids chase their channels
To the ground, caking at a mound
Of naked girls, who pout in doubt and
Hurl their rabid glares from eyes
That catch the light of want
And desperation.
Sighs:
They know the separation
Stays their open legs
From bursting cocks.
Masturbation of the mind
Is all they need –
They’re in the docks of
Fate:
The evil Overpopulation’s out to feed
Their thund’rous urge to procreate!
Forget the conjugation, just for once?
Bag the bulbous tits in bras.
I know they want the tongue on c*nts;
But focus! Where’s the room to live?
And think about the future babies.
THINK:
You know they won’t forgive
Your selfish drive to suck, to shag.
The Dying Age of Man will drag
Him down to disappear.
So keep the girls away from sperm –
Don’t let the men up there!

Not Known Outside
Not known to outside what is called hunger
It is not natural phenomena or coming out of anger
It is felt when fire is inflaming inside
When frustration is growing wide
You get no sleep when hungry
You look towards sky and feel sorry
Your hands are empty to feed
You are unable to meet the need
Hunger can burn whole of empire
They have only outrage and burning fire
No one can kill their spirit
As no hope is seen or lit
Many may be starving to death
So many may be enjoying with wealth
They need only two pieces of meals
We can’t have for them a nice deal
Let there be no hunger as proclaimed
No nature alone to be blamed
We have done injustice to nature
We have blackened our future
There is no answer to humanity
But yes it is poor thinking and bad quality
We can feed their mouth and see smile
That is what we can do for a while
We can for a while alienate
But we can’t afford to eliminate
Humanity as such can’t relate such things
It needs great care and more of something
Mere food grains may do little
They need to think positive and settle
How nature and forests are basic features!
This may become permanent and we may not have any cure
Sun may be blazing in noon
You may realize the devastation very soon
Nothing can shelter us from future gloom
No temporary steps can be considered in room
Soon it may turn into reality
We may loose out control and ability
Many more starvation deaths and deforestation
Not good place to live in then without sanitation
Let us groom with whole world
People are sympathetic and not turning cold
They want every human soul to live with peace
At least two time meals at ease

Heartless Brothers
Who is this Future everyone talks about?
They have been talking about him since I was born
Good things all the time
I hope the world see you for who you are
I am yet to meet you
And tell you about the Past
Your heartless brother who have no mercy
Looking at him reminds me of sorrow
From the Past born of pain I looked to you for comfort
You never took time to give me your ear
Yet you destroyed so many of my people everyday
You kept taking my beloved people
All gone!
In the hopes of one day living their dreams
Dreams based on nothing but hope
Future give back the souls you stole!
Earth spit up the children you swallowed!
I heard God weeping, tears rolling down causing Tsunamis
Emitting words too heavy for my ears to hear
Crying for the children of Africa
He created the world, we created continents
He created land we created borders
All cause of pleasing Future, the invisible bum
Now we fight each other for the 'better Future'
The unseen goddess who care not for mortals
What I know now is I will meet you Future
But I won't have time to tell you what you done
Cause the day I meet you the Son of Man
Will be by my side to take me home
Where there is no lies about you
Where there is no tomorrow
Without tomorrow there is no you Future
Without tomorrow there is no you Past
Only me and the present

Features of the Future
I'm closer to the future
Than I was yesterday.
The highway of the future
Is in each break of day.
I frame my future
By the decisions I make.
I encounter the future
If diligent steps I take.
Plans for the future
I made in the past.
Today I face the future
Yet it won't last.
Depending on the future
Is so inefficient.
Because the so-called future
Is vague and transcient!

if the present is well lived! ! '

The Few Chore
The future is here
I'll say it again
The future is here
Two thousand ten
Flying cars, time-warps
Food comes in pill-form
Robots n' teleports
Progress is still-born
The future came and went
I guess thats the past
The future is coming
I bet it won't last
The past is tomorrow
Or will be next week
Time's a mother****er
The future is bleak.

Mind That Counts
Is the earth still on the anchor of nature?
Does what makes a whole still makes parts?
thus says the sluggard
accomplishing no future dipicting success.
Time sprinting like a gazzle
In the eyes of that glutt...
just a risk of a moment
costing Him years.
Acheing to the call of time...
dancing to the tune of just...
striving towards the glare of freedom
raring to go for gold.
Your future is a member of the allegibly accursed criminal of time...
Your future is dipicted by the perciverance of making it in life...
so your acclimitisation towards success vindicates your future...

Look to the Future
Look to the future
Detach from the past
Let the people go
Start a new this time
Look to the future
Love like it’ll last
Dream like it’s forever
No move envy
Look to the future
Have the star life
Learn from others
Take it in
Look to the future
Be proud with yourself
No more lies
No more disguises
Look to the future
Solve the unresolved
Be someone’s firefly
Stop living for yourself
Look to the future
Be the person
You dream to be
Stop fantasizing
Look to the future
It’s only gets brighter
From here on out
Detach from the past
Look to the future
