I want to Breathe…

“To be or not to be”,
That’s the question I pose to thee,
Without fear I want to breathe,
Proofs are right here in front of us to see,
All is not well in this place,
Unless everyone is ready to face,
The reality of climate change,
And everybody must be on same page,
Politicians, bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, lawyers, scientists, artists and every person on
planet Earth have an errand,
Humans for their safety need to work hand in hand,
To increase the pace,
Not only to save our race,
But a billion organisms including flora and fauna,
Without them, our life will always be a lacuna,
Men build structures to secure their stature,
But are we doing justice to our own future,
Comforts we long for won’t help us to live,
It’s the clean food, water & air that nature provide,
The tech will fail and the sick will thrive,
If we won’t come out from where we hide,
It is time to act,
And shed the pride that anything can be controlled by a click,
Respect nature’s pact,
“Live & let live” to ignite the flame of life in the extinguished wick…
