Water Highway to moon

Every where there is concern

Climate is becoming weird day by day

Countries are blaming each other

For the green house gas emissions

No one ready to accept their faults

Nor ready to come up with solutions

Everyone on street know the solution

But governments endorse economic growth

Over emission cuts that could bring down

The monster of global warming

Kyoto and Copenhagen

More summits will follow with same results

With negotiators stage-managing the drama

One day they will have to act

When they finally see their cities submersing

Now they fend off the Greenpeace activists

With the iron fist of law

But, one day there won’t be a place to hide

When thunderstorms, floods, droughts, tsunamis

Earthquakes come with vengeance

With the silent permission of Mother Nature

To reclaim her pride, marred by greed of humans  

We are experts in dumping all the wastes

Wherever possible on earth and space

It’s the time for us to think,

how to flush out the excess water from the oceans?

Before we are forced out from our homeland

To some hostile planets where we have to fight

Every moment with forces there to survive

Where we can’t walk nor breathe freely

Let’s build a water highway to the moon

Piercing channels through the space

Pumping out water molecules with escape velocity

And then pulling them towards the craters of moon

With the gravity

Then filling them with the virgin water from earth

We can use this water to feed ourselves

As we want to have colonies there

To launch our quest to conquer this universe

To find the aliens and other living organisms

We can recreate oceans at the barren lands in moon

We can even create artificial atmosphere

With water vapors and other gases

As we are experts

In emitting millions of cubic meters of dangerous gases

We can take space tourists to show them

The spectacular water high way for huge sums of money

May be someday people can undertake adventurous trips

On some space vehicles through that water highway

As long as we can keep the water level down in earth

Any amount spent on that highway is worth a punt

We can have tourists’ resorts in moon

Along the banks of this highway

With yatches lining up for luxury rides

On the water we find as junk on earth

We recreated every monument possible

May be we can recreate Venice on moon

As for humans, “nothing is impossible.”


This poem is inspired by the continuing protest by green-peace activists against the governments for not trying significantly to reduce the emissions.Global warming is affecting our very existence in this planet.

Sun,Where are you?

Its summer,

The time to see the sun,

At his scintillating fury!

Hang on, where is he?

It’s been quite a while,

Since I had the glimpse of him.

Poor chap,

He is hiding behind

Those dreadful clouds.

The harvesting season is near,

But where are you?

It’s the time farmers needed you.

But, you let them down,

You heated up those seas

And they steamed up to the sky

Look, how they are diving down

Like freefalling skydivers to the earth

Yes, it’s the summer rain!

Everyone thought it’s a routine one,

Now, all are counting days

Where are you, sun?

Every field filled with water

Destroying the hard-earned yield

Plunging the farmers to the heap of loss

How will you compensate them for their tears?

All their dreams were spoiled

Still hoping for your return

To salvage something out of those flood waters

Those children who hoped to play around

During their very summer vacation

Have no choice but to sit at home

Waiting for you

Those birds who were about to migrate

All drenched up in your absence

All those dried up plants dancing in green tunes now

Yet you are hiding behind those clouds?

Unseasonal Rain

Life was moving on boring as ever,

With spring gone, beauty of nature too.

With leaves falling and swaying with wind,

Sun geared up to smile on nature,

Everyone were waiting for some hot days,

But ,astonishingly!

It lashed, the rain.

Flash floods ramped across the state,

Roads got immersed under the fury,

Of what turned out to be unseasonal rain!

Rather than relishing the relief,

People emerged out of homes with umbrellas,

Cursing on the rain for ruins.

The days passed on and on,

But the rain that changed the season,

Just kept dancing on the land!

More than excitement, agony creeped in,

Kids just looked at the sky,

Asking themselves ,when will it end?

But, the nature got a refreshing cover,

Greenery surfaced all around,

Cheering the minds, cooling the agony.

The cold winds, which accompanied rain,

Became an ecstasy for many,

Those who loved the rain walked through it,

Dancing with the rhythm of the raindrops!

Dampness remained in surface for long,

But it didn’t dampened the spirits,

Everyone knew the unwelcome guest,

Will just vanish as if nothing happened.

But the unseasonal rain was a hit,

As it challenged the weather predictions,

“Proving all the science wrong”!

Showed that “Mother Nature” can surprise,

At her will any time, with unseasonal rain,

Reiterating herself as “the queen of earth”!
