Photosynthesis

This poem is dedicated to each and every plant that looses its life every minute in our planet.

Alien rays from the horizon denude

The Dark womb in which we brood

Ruffling virgin feathers we bloom

 

Reddish green leaflets sprawl

Soft tender tendrils sprout

Like a fairy weaving her spell

 

Spring, our mother, our deity

She pours magical potion

Elixir of sacred life

 

Invoking prurient feelings

We spring back to life

Consuming all toxic gases

 

Prudently we breathe back

Oxygen, the goddess of life,

Nullifying the green house effect

 

She embraces us with warmth

Gently caressing with love

Through the silver clouds

 

 

We shield the crown of Mother Earth

The Ozone layer, like dark knight

We stand our ground for peace

 

Centuries have passed by

 Inhabiting this heavenly abode

God designed us with providence

 

Humans conquered this planet

Sawing our roots our life

From the umbilicus of our mother

 

Paradise lost; we succumb

Millions and trillions of us

Yet! Few of us still survive

 

Among growing concrete jungle

Our mother wails silently

Torn, bloody and feverish

 

Helpless amongst her

Own ruthless children

We pacify her holding ground

 

 

 

How long the ecosystem survives?

Lifeline to the veins of this planet

Humans trapped in the shell of greed

 

Yet! To date we stand

Synthesing food and fodder

From the alien lights...

 

Sobbing throbbing pulsating

With pain and agony

We the dark knights the only hope

 

Of the future

We still manage to survive

Through plain sacrifice
