When I came to know by this century world population will reduce in the ratio of 7 billion to 1 billion due to global warming I became totally upset since the forth coming world will be a battle field for basic resources to our children. How our kids will survive?
785. Global Warming – (I) 280209
On what basis should I continue to live?
What do I have for the world to give?
Should I become a victim of global warming?
Or witness others trapped in before warning?
Having crossed half of my life
Being a cause of world’s strife
Indirectly cutting many trees
So far I have not raised any tree
Saints say “in happiness, you be rich”!
Should I tuck my head like an ostrich?
Not seeing the evil side of humanity,
Continue to search pleasures in vanity?
Have not found yet reason for my birth;
But by giving births to children many,
I increased the burden of mother earth.
Is there a way for the survival of kids any?
Being chased by technology and science,
Seeing the terrible effects like global warming,
Maa, I surrender unto your lotus feet at once;
How world peace and bliss be my aiming? 280209
