That Dead Polar Bear

That Polar Bear  13/8/2013

That polar bear in picture that I saw

in the newspaper the other day

should have died in despair and desperation

for their plights for being so deprived of their rights

for their basic needs of food and snow to survive.  

It is a disheartening sight to behold

and the sign that we should not ignore

for its untimely death in the snow

It is so reported formally / informally

that the snow cover in both the artic and antartic circles

have reduced so much so

that the living things are dying off every day

like that polar bear

And polar bears,   inhabitants of the place

find it harder and harder to find food and snow

to keep themselves alive

It is a bad omen to all men

for destroying our precious environment

in the quest for more wealth

even at the expense of the health

and the extinction of all the living things

you can name off

I feel bad and sad to note

that it is the greed of some men

that has put all men and all living things

in such a bad spot

The extreme of weather that we witness

and experience everywhere we go is

the consequences of the greed of some men

who want to possess more and more wealth

at the expense of our environment and health

The sight  of that dead polar bear in the picture

may mean very little to many of you

but it is a shock to me

I sighed at the sight of that dead polar bear

in that ever reducing  snowline where they live

I see it a herald of impending catastrophe

that may befall on us at anytime anywhere

Have the extreme of weathers everywhere

you go not impacted you at all?

How much longer can we indulge ourselves

in such unsustainable lifestyles without any sense of …………?
