When man started out
to make the world a better place
armed with the new tools of engineering
science, technology, entrepreneurship
he thought he was doing
the world a favour...
Years later, we now know
his contribution is more
to the disruption of biodiversity
resulting in problems of habitat loss,
climate disruption, air pollution
global warming, water pollution
Greed had long consumed initial intentions
of making world a better place
it was all about the need for wealth
possessions, image, status
meaning change in focus to competition
shareholder interests, extraction, optimization
biodiversity, universal well being be damned!
Burying your head in the sand
outright denial, defensiveness, take you nowhere
quick action on natural resource conservation
recycling waste, reusing things
avoiding use of paper to save trees
supporting environment friendly practices
are all the need of the hour!
It's all about acting now
before it is too late
yes, Act fast or perish!
If people don't act, the cosmos will. The current pandemic is just a warning.
