DEAD GREENS

 

Pronab Kumar Majumder

 

Mere touch of human hands

Annihilate greens on earth

And dead greens treat humans

With deadly reprisals.

Man is half aware of it

Another half occupied by

Vainglorious march of possessions.

 

Trillion horses have been let loose

Blindly boisterously are they

Rushing trampling smashing

Architectures articulated by Man himself

Who not knowing are self-killers.

 

Who will calm and harness Man

To give a different vision of paradise

That could be raised on earth itself?

O God, would you intervene

Before all reduced to ashes nothingness?
