First it was Nisarga
And now Tauktae
That howling and fierce
Our frailty did pierce
Trees fell down
The winds battered our home
Confined to the rooms
Nowhere could we roam
Roofs flew off
Walls flew down
In devastation of the land
Tauktae took the crown
On the one hand, Covid
And the other, Nature’s rage
Kept us all tethered
Our homes became a cage
If man cuts the trees
And destroys the whole land
It is just retribution
That nature will take a hand.
We fill our seas with rubbish
Our lands are now steel jungles
Man is oh so puny
But gigantic are his bungles
The air we breathe is heavy
With fumes from all our cars
The earth is now spoilt
Our sight is now on Mars
Sustainability is dying
The earth is now just crying
No lesson have we learnt
Though more than fingers burnt
This is a wake-up call
Let us notice, then act
To save our Mother Earth
Let’s quickly make a pact
Man was once so wise
But greed became a vice
Let us united stand
To rejuvenate our land
Lockdown has chained us all
But let our minds be free
To defeat the dreaded Covid
Let us all agree
Let us lend a hand
Yes, let us do our duty
Let us now strive
To restore nature’s beauty
