Tellus’s Plea. a poem by Anjum Wasim Dar

Tellus's Plea

Call Cyclops!
People with two eyes have become blind!
Have lost their sane mind
have lost the spirit of being kind.
They lie, cheat, deceive and rob
do not leave a single grain, on the cob
Call Cyclops!
for he may see
the cruelty killing and rape
the guilty making good their escape.
Call Cyclops!
he will catch the culprits
and put them behind bars or
send them for ever up to the stars.
Call Poseidon!
To clean the oceans and rivers
to save sea animals and food for fishes.
Call Aeolus!
To clean the air. purify the
atmosphere, increase oxygen everywhere.
All are mythical creatures
No wonder the world is not getting cleaner!
