I've been too far out all my life I think
And not smiling but... but agonizing.

They rang to see was I alright, was I
   OK
I smiled down the phone, told them I
   was fine
That I was reading a bit, watching TV
Out sunning myself in the back
   garden
What I didn't tell them I suppose, was
   the real truth
That my Demons they were keeping
   me entertained
They were sitting on the fence right
   now watching me
Like great big Birds of Prey.

"Are you keeping yourself fit", they asked, " getting enough exercise ",
" Yes!", I smiled again, "I do daily runs
   around the garden"
Of course, this too was a fib, a lie
The truth was it was really my
   demons again
Who were chasing me around the
   garden
No! Me! I wasn't smiling, I was just...
   just agonizing.

"Are you eating enough ?" they asked
"Yes, I am", I replied again smiling, " I
   had lots of food in the house
What I neglected to tell them was of
   course, the truth
That really it was my demons who
   were eating me
And Boy! were they having a feast.

"O!", I thought to myself, " when this
   whole thing is all over (the virus
     crisis)
I gotta get myself a woman
Some lovely sweet pretty lookin'
   thing
She'll save me from my demons
They'll find her more appetizing
Can eat her first instead of eating me".

May be I should have,
Never come to this town.
With all my accent and tradition,I made myself a clown.
When I first entered, I wish you would be around,
To teach,to preach, to save me, when I drown.
We are no match and I think I let you down.

could you turn left?
no
could you turn right?
no

do you know?
the grow
fear was planted

at every side
what i do?

pray to the finder
who gets the creature

do not be proud
kneeled so down

asking for help
one thing

look inside
look and talk

save us my God

Will
you
shelter
a
b    r     o    k     e     n
heart?

जग-जीवन खुशहाल बनाएं
चारों ओर हरियाली लाएं
आओ पर्यावरण बचाकर
अपनी धरा को स्वर्ग बनाएं।
            जलता सूरज तपती धरती
            पेड़ के नीचे राहत मिलती
            पेड़ों से जीवन है सारा
            लेकिन अपने स्वार्थ के ख़ातिर
            मनुष्य ने अनावश्यक पेड़ है काटा
            पेड़ के बदले पेड़ लगाएं
            यह संदेश सब तक पहुचाएं
            आओ पर्यावरण बचाकर
            अपनी धरा को स्वर्ग बनाएं।
जल से ही हम ज़िंदा रहते
फिर भी जल को दूषित करते
नदियों को पूजा है जाता
सारा कचरा उसी में जाता
जल है एक अनमोल रत्न
बूँद-बूँद को स्वछ बनाएं
आओ पर्यावरण बचाकर
अपनी धरा को स्वर्ग बनाएं।
             करें आदतों में सुधार आज हम
             बढ़ते प्रदूषण पर रोक लगाएं
             न करें प्रकृति का नाश और हम
             हर मन में ये अलख जगाएं
             धरती है ये माँ हमारी
             उसको अब न और रुलाएं
             आओ पर्यावरण बचाकर
             अपनी धरा को स्वर्ग बनाएं।।

        Let's save the environment

Make life happy
Bring greenery around
Come save the environment
Make your land heaven.
       Burning sun rises earth
       Relieved under the tree
       Life is all from the trees
       But for the sake of our selfishness
       Man has cut unnecessary trees
       Plant trees instead of trees
       Reach this message to everyone
       Come save the environment
       Make your land heaven.
We live by water
Still polluting the water
Rivers are worshiped
All the waste goes to
Water is a precious gem
Make the blob clean
Come save the environment
Make your land heaven.
       Improve our habits today
       Curb rising pollution
       Do not destroy nature and we
       Awaken these feelings in your
        mind
       This mother is our earth
        Don't make him cry anymore
        Come save the environment
        Make your house heaven.

Splinter and divide,
time after time,
bluster and misdirect,
point to the workshy or foreigners,
twist the knife in vulnerable hearts
and fan the fear

We’re here because at some point past
we agreed this land should last
that it stands for goodness and right
and all heads shared the thought
so the idea
became

Our disgust and indignance
threatens a retreat
so the squeakiest wheel triumphs
through attrition

Your mission,
should you choose to accept it,
is this:

Call out the heartless, the bleak,
the self self self serving,
the thoughtless, the blinkered
the unthinkers

Every breath, every day
our grit and mettle can save us
and an idea worth saving
