A city of smoke
a city of smokers
some cars that smoke
some industries that smoke
I live in a city of smoke
the smog plagues the air
its been long since the sun rose high
the white smoke covering all night
They ask
when did, I start puffing
It takes time
to recall inside
when was the first time
I was small
small indeed
to understand smoke
Have been a smoker since long
not active though
a passive smoker
living in a city of smoke
Once crystal water beside
as clear where fishes swarm
today it’s poison flowing
with dead fishes rowing
the glaciers run wild
the river floods, the Nile
there is draught on other side
and we question
why Mother Nature, you run havoc ?
with shamelessness in eyes
we dare to urge her
Urge to stop the mayhem
but, did we ever realise
who was the culprit
acting lame
making the city plague
Hiding the beautiful face
Behind the masks with lace
Days pass by
only with pledges as a passer by
while some cities vanishes side by
people loosing their lives

The air has got cleaner, but the seas are still a dumping ground by ships sailing our seas. Every time you eat a fish now, they'll be plastic in it.
Surely eat a fish with plastic on a plastic
The world has become a garbage ground
Even the most pious places emerge with pollution around
We need more awareness raising pieces like this one in arts spaces. An important message here writer. Kudos well deserved.
Thank you so much dear reader
Some countries
Some places may vanish
In greed of few
These articles just give me boils
Why the innocent be harmed
A fine write S.

Quite a picturesque poem Spiller !! You seem to write your pomes on smoke too. Anything is a piece of poem for a poet : )) Wonderful....
I wish I could write on anything
But I am still playing in few fields
