The Boon That I Seek! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

The far off Mountain Ranges,
That invited Me to Climb;
The Vast Forest Spreads,
That forced Me to Wander;
The Revered Rivers Perennial,
That Pulled Me off with Currents;

The Rainwater Ponds,
That I Played & Bathed In;
The Flora & Fauna Fun,
That Mused & Amused Me;
The Fresh Air Breeze,
That Chilled My Chick & Chin;
The Panoramic Landscapes,
That Mesmerized & Surprised Me;

In Times & Tides to Come,
Will they All be Gone?
Those Endorsements of,
De-Forestation Encroachments;
Those Excavations of Sand Belts,
That Erodes away the Fertile;
Like Nightmares of Ghost Dreams,
They Keep Me Awake!

Before those Deep Oceans,
Get Heated up & Eat up;
Before those Volcanic Hills,
Vomit & Emit all the Lava;
Before Mercy Mother Nature,
Goes on a Revenge Spree,
And Swallow us with Gallops;
Wish Our Humanity Wake up!

Wish those Deadly Dreams,
Vanish Away for Ever & Ever,
With Mother Nature's Boon;
That Me as Life On Earth,
Always Seek with Fervor!
