Only One Earth

Altın Yaprak
(A muse on the World Environment Day)
The glacier has gone
A moraine remains
where it was once.
The Great Indian Bustard is extinct
There stands a large airport precinct
Where they used to nest.
The century old banyan tree felled
Large dry roots remain swelled
Like skeletons thrown up by a grave
Man looks on in success knave,
He'd build a road where stood the tree
To drive his fossil fuel car with glee
His name in carbon would he engrave
Not knowing he is digging his own grave.
