Global Warming
GLOBAL WARMING Not just a single place, not just a city, a country, a continent, The Earth is collective of them all. Not just the land surfaces and not only the sea waters, It’s all we call our “HOME” It’s not the Earth’s model Globe, And not the Sun’s warmth causing the Global Warming It was there in the past, But causes, impact were less known It is prevailing in the present And is expected to continue in the future With impact uncertain. It was not the past’s Warmth The Earth is still heating up, Still warming and still warning But, we are not waking up. We are snoozing the alarm. Defying the dawn won’t stop afternoon from arriving. What we know on Earth as not man-made Are the land and the waters All now heating up by us. We still get a wake-up call every single morning, It’s time to wake up, It’s time to answer It’s time to deal with global warming Else, soon all will see only mourning. -Shipra Anadi Dev Kaushik
