HIMALAYA

Almost 30 to 50 million years ago, Himalaya took the birth;

Himalaya firmly fixed our homeland as a pillar for the Earth!

Indian plates collided against Euro-Asian plates;

To bring earth's physique and face to up to dates!

In a huge violence it caused the thunder shake;

The latest formation of the earth to make!

About 1600 miles length and a sky high construction;

Himalaya rose up on 'Tethys Sea', in a violent motion!

With 200 to 250 miles width of the Himalaya sculpture;

It was needed as a pillar to hold our earth and water!

Homes of Gods were those peaks of the mountain there;

In order to control our lives and agriculture!

Himalaya was the home of Gods with their divine powers as very sacred;

Gods were to provide season livelihood fruit, crops and bread!

Up to the Everest peak, it is almost 5.5 miles high;

Thanks to Hillary and Sherpa who touched that sky!

And now, in modern days, , there are still expeditions;

Tourists bring monies for local populations.

Himalaya got own supreme ruling and much influence;

Asian, Indian agriculture and climate to make the balance.

Himalaya gives lives and also holding our fate;

Violent earthquakes pushes us to last day's gate!

Around isolated various valleys of Himalaya there are people;

With wild lives, fruits, homes tribes of big or small.

On Tibetan Plateau with horses, goats, deers;

With avalanches, storms, global warming dangers!

Since prehistoric times, lakes, rivers and rinsing of rain water;

Himalaya been contributing to Indian atmosphere!

Meeting Oceans, filling rivers, Canals, swamps, lakes;

But problems are rising for global warming and earthquakes!

Himalaya popped up on the ‘Tethys Sea' and it was very violent;

Today's Earth has been formed from that violent incident!

Even, the last day may come from this Good old Himalaya mountain;

To end the living entity and thus, ending suffering and pain!

Almost 30 to 50 million years ago, Himalaya took the birth;

Himalaya firmly fixed our homeland as a pillar for the Earth!
