Revolution

I see cracks in the earth

And wilted uprooted trees

And a lack of butterflies

And a scanty population

Of the earthy mites and bees.

As I navigate the hellfires

Of the parched solemn earth

I see wrangled bones

Shrouded in clothes

Of withered dry skin

Devoid of any mirth.

And then I find a solitary 

Hermit digging the rubble

And the bones without any

Ware, without any stones.

The light of the sun

Has shone bright

Into our very marrows

And there is really no hiding

Anymore from our mortal shadows.

I walk amid the crowd

With no mirror so I could see

A reflection of the sight

Or a drop of immortal sea.

I wonder what is it that happened 

That this calamity has struck,

Was it that we lost the plot

While trying to make a fast buck?

The story has just begun

Of the axes and the trees

When there would be no home

For birds and our furry friendlies.

I cry out loud as I reach the peak 

And my voice dissolves

Amid the cacophony. 

I seek hope and love is what I seek,

I seek a heart of reason,

I seek words of will

So that we no more treason

And evolve conscientiously, 

Responsibly and I realise

The change begins with me

And I'll create a revolution

Amid all the calumnies

And there will be a sea of song

Where there is now a grating noise

And we will right all our wrongs

With hope and love in one voice.
