ALIEN PLANET

Flowers are withering away
alongside the plants.
Rivers, rivulets, streams
and ponds dried up.
Unable to withstand
the red hot sun
the verdant landscape has already vanished.
And the fields get burnt by blazing sun
and they develop cracks.
Scarcity of grass and water forces the farmers
to dump their cattle at the abattoir.
The farmers unable to repay the loans
they availed of from banks and shylocks
attain solace by the kisses of death.
The melting glaciers cause the water levels
of the oceans to rise threatening the
submergence of island nations below sea-levels.
With the famines like sharks and whales
reaching out to swallow us, the victims - the Homosapiens.
One day our Mother
Planet – the Earth
will turn into an alien planet

with none remaining alive…..
