She
stood staring at the trees,
While
the leaves crumbled.
Group
of men came with weapons
To
bring trees down.
She
stood staring at the trees,
While
her mind raced back to days,
Where
she watered and nurtured trees
Just
like her own children.
She
stood staring at the trees,
Unable
to move in bewilderment.
Tears
rolled down her cheeks,
As she saw huge vehicles joined armed men.
She stood staring at the
trees
Until last one was
brought down
And there were no
longer any trees
Wondering how this could
lead to development of city
She
stood there pondering
Amidst
so many questions.
Has
greed for money tied a blindfold on their wisdom,
Insight
and conscience?
Have
they shunned their ears
Or
have turned their
Hearts
into stone?
It
has closed every single door of love and kindness.
She
stares at the dark sky,
Eyes
closed as her heart ached.
She
was sure mother nature wont bestow mercy,
And
the planet will be doomed soon.
Keep Smiling :)

DeleteThis is so beautiful. I really liked the photograph, Your poem talks about a very serious problem. For our personal gain we are doing wrong with the nature and humanity blind to the fact that this will one day come back to us. We will have to pay.
