Goodbye 2018
end of the year
time again
as usual
to find excuses
what you
promised to yourself
but could not accomplish
end of the year
time again
as usual
to make
new resolutions
end of the year
time again
as usual
to
say
to bid
Adieu
to the old year
and
welcome
with open heart
and not to forget
party hard
in the
NEW YEAR

Picture Prompt
Poem
after the sun departs and we are greeted by constellations
or what we could see past the rising light of the city
The elitists of the day go home
A time of opportunities has gone down with the day
But what would the night bring us?
The start of a new journey and to be one with the city
Never in the eyes of a 9-5 type

Fire,
the enemy
of darkness and impurities
friend
of the people
and the forests
if you can keep it
under control
it devours all
without discrimination
when goes
out of control
a weapon
in the hands of miscreants
a shield
of safety from
ravenous beasts
Comment-2
One more excellent comment on my post- https://amaltaas.wordpress.com/2018/12/11/reenas-exploration-challenge-65
*** The Fools ***
We have the know-how
But not the leaders to lead
Who voted these fools?
–
*** Too Busy ***
Who are we blaming?
Too busy on spinning wheels
Now, hand-helds suck time
–
*** One-Way Ticket ***
Heads down, zombies walk
Abyss ahead, no one sees
Humans deserve it
– Eric Elagan

PROMPT FOR THIS WEEK
Too much of consumerism
disrupted
the balance of nature
Kings, Maharajas,
politicians, businessmen, rich
were busy in money making
as money brings POWER
public, either terrified to raise a voice
or whining for their sorrows, or
oblivious to nature’s balance
accepting all as their destiny, gods fury
Some had a clear vision
the first on to start a movement to save sacred trees
along
with Bishnoi Villagers
dared to raise a voice and saved the trees
it took 363 lives to awaken the people from their slumbers
then came CHIPKO MOVEMENT
led by
Sundarlal Bahuguna, who explained to villagers
of the importance of trees to the environment
of the soil erosion due to the cutting of trees
of draught
of pollution, pure air
very slowly people were awakening
whole India was stirred by
Save Silent Velly Movement
Jungle Bachao Andolan
Appiko Movement
Narmada Bachao Andolan
etc. etc.
All visionaries are doing their bit
but,
what the rest in the world is doing
waiting for the third world war for water
or, consuming to turn this planet a desert?
God knows
when the whole world sing in unison
enough is enough
Let us all save the Mother Earth
Bishnoi Movement
Chipko Movement
Jungle Bachao Andolan
Save Silent Valley Movement
Appiko Movement
Tehri Dam

Art is a weapon that can be used inany feild or profession to connect to a person’s higher self.”
