Blame Yourself

A Poem by Jasnil Chand

Truth about our selfish actions today

I cannot believe where I stand
Everything here has come to an end
The land which long ago was green
Is now grey and this is cause I was mean
I lit the fire which turn things to ash
I filled the ocean with my trash

Oh! Nothing will happen I said
I messed up with decisions so bad
Hundreds of organisms now out of sight
Being selfish I set the forest alight
There is now more plastic than fish in the sea
Even speechless they must have made a plea

There was time for things to get better
Apart from me nothing else did matter
Man thought they were the greatest of them all
Without plants and animals mankind had the greatest fall
Animals and trees cried out in pain
All their requests went into vain

Hunted, beaten even killed
Deep pockets with money were filled
Things now will never be the same
Point fingers at yourself for you are to blame
Too late to cry and bid them goodbye
Congratulations human you will painfully die.
