THE MENACE

Much has been talked about

Much has been written about

Much has been done

to draw the attention

of those who

reclining comfortably in their chairs.

Much has been suffered

still we find ourselves

between the devil and

deep sea,

with no one caring to

come to our rescue.

Like the sea-levels

are rising

due to scourge of global warming

threatening submerge

many an island below sea-level

the level of the sea of

corruption and other evils

are rising threatening to submerge

those living below poverty-line

the sparks of hope

and a new morn of

prosperity is about to die-down.
