Where is that dense forest
inhabited by palm, birch and maple trees?
Co-existing with their delicate leaves, fragrant flowers,
surrounded by tiny plants and thick vegetation
They were all cut down
and those who resisted
were burnt down
In their place now exists
modern buildings and uncaring hearts
throbbing only for printed papers
known as money
Those who survived the fire
still exist in the form of houses, furniture,
beauty products and lifesaving medicines
Lovely.
Thank you so much for your kind comment
it really hurts to see this monstrous abuse of nature, every day. in west bengal the latest trend is fill up the waterbodies for buildings. its causing an eco disaster but real estate business is run by murderers and thugs mostly.
really sad to hear about this, Sharmistha
its strange is not it how they buy their ways out of jails after doing all these.
recently i read a really gross news in newspaper, a man wanted his house vacated but to sell to some promoter, but there was a problem, an old woman owned a floor of the house, so the promoter sends him a goon, that goon started to stay with him and pass lewd comments at the old lady every time she walked by, it resulted in her 21 year old grandson’s killing that goon. i dont think he was wrong but he will be punished not the promoter.
this is what modern civilization (?) is. pay at the right place and do what you want.
very sad..you are right..though stuff like these seem to happen all the time..
How sad. Where were you talking about in particular?
This write-up was not about any particular incident, but deforestation in general…Thank you so much for the comment and the empathy.
Very sad the deforestation.
very true
