Mother's agony

Mother's agony...

O my child!
O beloved child!
How I wish I could give you,
The treasures, I used to...
How I wish I could give you,
The gems, I had once....
How I wish I could tell you,
I love you the most!!

O beloved child!!
I wish I could give you,
The sweetest of the fruits,
The purest of the breeze,
All which is precious to keep,
But I'm unable to,
so, as a mother I weep!!

Today I'm forced to live,
with scars on my face!!
Waiting since ages,
for you to embrace!!

Son,
Once I was also pretty and charming,
But now I'm burning in global warming!!
With a burst of population,
Arrived a situation!!
That boosted the heat,
Which is invincible to beat!!
I wish I could fulfill your needs,
But I'm helpless with your deeds!!
You killed forests,
Destroyed greenery,
Turned the Greenlands,
Into a tragic cemetery!!

The gases of green house,
Are rising like a snake...
The crust is depleting!
Resources are at stake!!
O child,
There are so many of you,
But no one to care,
The scene is degrading,
And you will have to stare!!

I despair to see you with meagre,
Shelter ,clothes and food!!!
With such a big population,
You have lesser source of livelihood!!!

I weep to see you lacking,
Long for basic needs,
Fighting each other for,
Casts and creed!!

I wish for all that, I gave,
only a woo...
A small single step,
A favour from you!!

Son,
be kind and control the,
Population,
Or else we will be trapped in,
Such a situation....

We will be ailing in pain,
With nothing to live,
I will be exhausted,
With nothing to give...
