Sustainablility Poem: River
The River had a hundred thousand voices
It’s Your fault that You’ve no ears
And no eyes even to observe people
Who don’t have hearts to feel the thunder of rain.
The River never cried but died a glorious death,
Only to suffer us, all the animals and the plants
who are to suffer hell and scorching on the dry banks.
The River had carried all of us here
To grow and thrive, to love and to breed.
The villages on the shore and the small towns.
The mills and the farms.
The River had set up a civilization and nourished,
Just like a mother with her sweet milk nourishes life.
But see O Oceanus, O Varuna, god of water, sweet water,
We have changed your sweetness into a bitter fruit
that bears bitter, horrible seeds of hunger and greed.
That kills our own sisters and brothers,
plants and animals and fellow humans for no real reason.
Save us this time and we promise to change,
Wash our bitterness and make us Your children again.
We promise to be as patience and pure as a river.
