A NightMare

All alone in this world,
Like a sheep without a shepherd
I wander here and there,
To find nothing but bare.

Everywhere I look there is not a tree to be seen.
All along that place there is not a trace of green.
It looked like a grave yard, a field after a war,
With dark shadows of death covering near and far.

Huge portions of plastic scattered all around,
And the volume of waste in the soil had crossed all bounds.
The toxicity in the air had made breathing impossible.
And life once again walking on this land was improbable.

It was not the blue green earth I knew,
It was not the home where I grew.
Who has uttered the tragic spell,
That made this heaven, a sulfurous hell.

Nature has paid a huge price,
For the mistake of creating human race.
Life had lost its entire Future,
Just because it didn't understand human Nature.
