Cry Of A Dying River...93
Rajendra Kshetri *
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that is in search of a meaning
Meaning of being and nothingness
Meaning of men's existence on earth
Planet Earth that gives source(s) of sustenance
The shock absorber that is Mother Earth
The river that never ceases to look for a meaning
Meaning of men's relationship with environment
Meaning of men's creative prowess
Meaning of the other side of men's mentality.
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that keeps flowing against man-made odds
Man who built/builds barracks barrages crematoria and dams
Man who loves plastics polluting natural water
Man who feels superior and wage war on Nature
Man whose greedy/greasy hands/palms antagonize mother earth
The river that witnessed the metamorphosis
Of 'creative ' man to a 'selfish ' creature
The river that weeps for man's moronic mind
Oh Mother Earth! Forgive them...
