Calling you and other Poems

Not To Worry?

If the sun stays a bit longer

in the sweltering sky,

or on an average summer day

the heat's a bit too high,

don't worry, nothing alarming

just a little global warming.

If raindrops refuse to come

from the humid, heavy skies,

or scalding heat shows up

under monsoon's guise,

no need at all to widen your eyes

'tis only a disturbed balance's price.

If the leaves shrivel up

before their time to go,

or all the tall standing trees

bow their heads too low,

nothing to grill your heads at all

only climate changes, speeding up the fall.

If cold winds lose their edge

before they touch the ground,

or on a still day, you can't

hear a snowflake's sound,

not a worthy reason to use your grey cells

it's just the greenhouse effect muffling Christmas bells.

If flowers droop down

before they see spring,

or birds choke up and die

before they start to sing,

nothing to think, nothing to despair

a pinch of pollution in the air.

If you see bodies scattered

across remote battlefields,

or people crowding about, terrified

Nature's fury destroying their yields,

Nothing can be done, it is to say

people die every day.
