An Urgent Call To All

Bibekanand 'Agyat'

Oh, Human beings! How deep is your sleep!

Fire is on your earthly home, it's burning

The existence of millions races are in weep

But blind we are in consumption, earning.

 

Don't we see the impact of climate changes--

The global warming, dry and cracks of land--

Death of rivers, seas, lakes of many ranges--

And the green house effect is all at expand--

 

Oh, Governments! Leaders! Politicians! All

The writers, poets, film-makers, directors,

Oh, Ambitious industrialists! Listen! The call

Of the environmentalists and predicators.

 

All, come out of your dreams and fantasy

And see the only home, the earth, is dying

From our folly deed of greed for ill-ecstasy

But it's not in consuming, but wisdom plying.

 

Oh! Writers and poets, do write the reasons

Of the earth's destruction, its consequences

Whether we shall survive with these visions

To satisfy our unlimited desires of senses.

 

Oh! Politicians and leaders, awake a little

From your deep sleep for power and post

And see around the world, the worst detail

If nothing remains here, whom you'll host.

 

Oh! Industrialists and businessmen, eye on

What the hell you have made to the earth!

In service less, greed much, your production,

Of useful less, garbage much, desire of birth.

 

Oh! Film-makers, directors, producers, heroes

You're the mirror, in which people watch themselves

Please leave fantasy, show how reality arrows

Our home is, but in danger that future generation elves.

 

Oh! All common men, kindly don't be insane

After your mad and dreadful deluxe dream

Of lust as must for pleasure, as it's dust and pain

In time, if not awaken, nothing remains but to scream.

 

Oh! All the human beings, playing various roles

Why don't we save the only stage, our green home

If we awake and extinguish not, the fire, survive no souls

As our home is on fire due to our infinite dreadful desires.

 

The target 'net zero' has been blindly crossed

In the race of power and pelf, victory and defeat

And by day, by disasters, we are being lost,

Into slow mass death of all species by heat.

 

Why don't we think it's only our responsibility

To hand over the earth to our future generation

Safe and worth living, with sense of creativity

But, in blind desires, we're only doing destruction.

 

Oh, All! Kindly listen this call of awareness

All of us, our kids, relatives, and all creatures

Are in the phase of sixth mass extinction, in wholeness

Due to our vile activities, causing climate changes.

 

Day by day, heat is hitting hard, unbearable 

All the environmental system of the earth will devastate

Snow melts, velocity of earth changes, life... pitiable...

Due to climate change, deaths in high range, desolate.

 

So, it's an urgent call to all, the earth dwellers

Save the earth, the only home of our existence

Awake and desert the deadly desires, be

wisdom sellers

As it's the only way to save the humanity and its essence.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The earth, our only one home, is on fire due to our vile activities in the chase of consumption for fulfilling our lusty, blind and deadly infinite desires in ignorance. So, we all need to awake, be aware and save the earth deserting our ego of fulfilling the useless longings of blind luxuries. And it's the most urgent thing to think of climate change and its impact, which is going to cause the 6th mass extinction.
