GREENERY - BENEATH & BEYOND

President bird,

surrounded by a flock of

migratory birds,

flew in from a distant land

to our land one day.

All accorded,

a green carpet reception,

following the protocol.

President bird

And his flock,

Flew around the land,

Of greenery,

Perched on greenery -

on getting tired.

‘Blessed land’ –

President bird-

whispered to his flock.

The flock shook

their heads in approval.

The sights of

Dark smoke billowing

from the tunnels of factories

and melting into

the air -

flying over the

islands of industry

filled him with

a sense of sadness.

Reminded him of

his own land,

land of emitting

greenhouse gases freed

into the skies

with factories, furnaces,

concrete jungles

spread around vast areas

poisoning the whole atmosphere.

Date of flying-

back to his land

arrived.

With a heavy heart 

President bird,

surrounded by his

flock flew back

dreaming of

a carpet of greenery.

Thoughts over

smokes of sorrow

erasing the greenery

like his own land –

his eyes full to the brim

with tears.
