Costly Progress

Progress made by man

All was considered 'GREAT'

Till he realized

That he has actually 'exploited'

A part of life, which

Prospered the earth

And 'Nature' was preparing

Steady for revenge

Yonder he could see

'All' that was to end

Keenly he struggled

If 'it' was possible

To help himself

By conserving its source

For this he spread awareness

And he tried his best

'Say No To Polybags'

Was his recent Quest

But the society didn't respond

To his entire worthy 'tries'

And now he repents

Predicting future he cries

This is what is happening

And is becoming our 'Destiny'

Let's accept the challenge

And with united scrutiny

Let's change our minds

And save our environment

For a much happier & safer generation
