The colourful life that was,
Now has ceased to be visible.
Every side presents a deserted look,
In these unpleasant times,
One wonders, how the flora,
On the planet has grown,
Even better than before.
Our earth is relieved,
From the strain of its big pop.
It pushed it to the dark side,
Due to their greedy intentions.
Ozone hole over Antarctica,
Now is healing fast.
Desirable change in the environment,
Is evident from the thick,
Bird population.
Through the prism of environment,
Lockdown is better a blessing,
Than a curse.
Rayees! Let’s exploit these testing times,
To make our future and the world,
We dwell in, a pleasing one.
