Pollution and exploitation

The river gives man water

To drink and to plant the crops

And fish to eat

The clouds give us rain

Plants give us flower

Fruit, food, wood and shade

The sun gives light and heat

The stars and the moon beautiful light

The cows give milk, butter, ghee and cheese

The goat gives milk and mutton

Even the hen gives chicken and egg

Man cuts plants, kills animals

For his own survival

What does he give back to nature

Which gives him so much

And his fellow beings---

Nothing but pollution

And exploitation
