Drought in Africa
What 'll happen When the Earth begin to dry up When its seas and oceans dessicate, And when its mighty rivers Are perennial no more; And when all its inland Lakes,ponds and tanks go dry And when large tracts of agri-fields go barren,bereft of water, And grains grow ******** And the forests are green no more; Oh,I foresee the sufferings of cattle' The giver of milk and milk products, Their fodder become scanty, And they are lean,frail and bony, With udders shrunk and with little milk That even their calves couldn't suckle; I foresee the atmosphere with multi-punctured ozone layer; And the rays of sun becoming Painfully hot and penetratively scorching; Making living unhealthy and frightening; I foresee men clamouring no more For gold,platinum and silver And not even for money; But,instead fight against each other in house and in open places For food and water! Food and water sell At prices sky-rocketing ; I foresee violence erupting everywhere For food, water and shelter; And soon, the world turns A battle-ground for survival, Heralding an era of survival of the fittest! All these woes are because We failed to live in harmony With the bounteous Nature, And chose in arrogance to Live on our own, And these owes are The curse of mother Nature?

Nature's Curse?
Let peace prevail,my Lord God On our Earth,peace for ever; Let not people go back To their barbaric past And indulge in acts of senseless violence and terror In the name of revolution; Instead, let people shun All feelings of hatred and animosity Of mistrust and inhumanity, And turn to fill their hearts With warmth and compassion, And sow the seeds of good-will and peace In the garden of serenity and tranquility And harvest of dignity,poise and love Let people be chivalrous and courageous And use their valour only to protect The old,children and the infirm From senseless wars and fights And to uphold the Nation's prestige and gloryl As violence begets violence and hatred begets hatred Let people shun violence And let peace and peace alone Embrace this world And Let this world turn to be A pacific of peace my Lord God! Please hear this prayer of mine For peace and love,and For unity in diversity.
