'A Cry to the Almighty'

By Labanya Sahoo 

Great humans created by the heavenly Almighty, 
most appropriate, intelligent, yet so faulty. 
With vicious hearts and unclean souls,
like a parasitoid beneath the shielded ozone.

Beautiful forests, scented air,
like a melody of a beautiful choir. 
Now cut down, left to decay,
by minds that took the green away.

What a man with all his living,
in an adulterated house almost sinking.
Every day releasing lead-filled air,
ignoring our sorrowful earth.

Green house gases that humans emit,
tear the canopy of angel's house.
And innocent lives will go in vain,
just like leaves fall in drain.
May Almighty give sapiens,
seeds of wetlands in a loathsome heart.
