I shook my head for the thousandth time
You have created sorrow in the face of my sky.
*
My sky was cheerful in its cloudless perfect azure
It whistled you a harmonious melody in the morning
And it sang you a tranquil farewell in the evening
*
But now it is in deep sorrow,
For it is in grey, ill-fated,
Lethargic, non-zealous state.
It can no longer sing, nor can it smile.
Now my lovely sky has lost its soul!
*
You can no longer hide
In your beautiful mansion or your private island
For your soul is wretched
And your heart is shattered
When the mighty sky presents itself
With its depressing state to haunt your deviant days
And terror your dreamless nights
A hazy sky is not what I want
It’s not what we want
*
It is a cloudless perfect azure sky that we want
And believe me, we’ll do everything to get it back!

What a lovely piece. Indeed we must take care of our planet.
Thanks for sharing Subhan.
Was reading your stories and came to this poem, your work always seems focused on a beautiful message. Thank you for sharing =)
Oh the guilt….I am sure you have touched a nerve in all of us, if we are honest with ourselves. We all need to share in the responsibility to Mother Earth….I am with you…we will get it back! Well done, thanks for sharing it

Thanks, Celeste..
Yeah, we do! It’s just so sad that on the other day I remembered my hometown, Jakarta, and the city has suffered so much pollution. That’s why I wrote the poem..
Kind regards,

We don’t need Nat Geo to tell us – all we have to do is look out of a tall building or any height and we see what we are doing to our earth…
True, Eric! True! Let’s go green!
Kind regards,
