Preserving Nature Is Preserving Ourselves

How many guns and bullets will it take to extinguish the wild animals in our forest?
How many more axes and contractors would it take to sweep away our green trees?
How many more dynamites and batteries would it take to fish out all the tiny fish in our river?
How many more picnics would we organise to degrade our environment?
How many more leaders would we elect to ensure that our land turns into desert?
How many more prayers and poems will it take for us to realise the destruction we are doing?
How many more questions will it take to change our mindset?
How many more educated people will we need to say "enough is enough"?
What is our joy when forests are deprived of rain and left thirsty?
Will we mourn when sweet and natural water tastes like poison?
Will we regret when our forest blooms no more orchids and flowers?
Will we rather take pride when we walk around with oxygen bottles?
Are we prepare for life when we enjoy no more spring nor autumn?
What will you tell your children when they ask why there are no more melodious songs of birds in our forest?
What will you tell your children about the droughts they are about to face?
What will you tell your children about our age-old traditional songs and tales dedicated to hills and mountains?
What shall we take of all those locations named after nature’s wonders and beauty by our ancestors?
What will you do when the wind blows like the hot wind from the furnace? More destruction obviously…
How many tears should one shed and how many broken hearts will it take for us to listen to our provider?
When will we open our eyes and see that our ecosystem is depleting slowly and steadily, dying a slow and depressing death?
All nature wants is for us to leave it alone. It would shower you abundantly with beauty, fresh air, water, seasons and much more…
When will we make "sustainable living" our holy grail?
Above all, tell me, how many dollars’ bribe will you take to be even a little sensitive to our mother nature?
