“Climate Change – The Uncertain evil”
By Shubham Singh
—————–
Flood in this season
Drought in the next
In this Uncertain Situation
We cannot be at rest.
This threat has shaken the nations
Full of danger and strange
The biggest global problem
We called it climate change
It affects the entire world
From humans to the vulture
But, the biggest threat it poses
Is on the backbone of agriculture
When I need water for irrigation
I see sky for some rain
But, not even a drop to drink
All my hard work go in vain
When the crops are standing
They need no water and want it dry
The sudden rain and storms
Leave me the whole season cry
I work in extreme winter
Also sweat in extreme hot
Still, I lose my crop
And a rope cut my throat
Hanging in those last seconds
I see my field one last time
Closing my eyes slowly
Thinking, what was my crime?
The heat is crossing its limit
The cold is shaking the bone
Killing animals and birds
They are crying in painful tone
Global temperature continues to rise
Glaciers melting at the poles
Challenging the human efforts
In achieving the UN Goals
Before the bunch of treaties
Are we trying to hide?
Ignoring the coming monster
Full of destruction and tide
It may be a start
Which can lead to an end
Serious efforts are needed to stop
This dangerous trend
