I Am Afraid Poem by Amitava Sur

I Am Afraid

Rating: 5.0


The way world is moving today
I am afraid to say.

Cruelty will rule upon
The way it flourishes today!

Atrocities and pollutions only
Will be the call of the day.

And one day there will be -
no trace of tears and humanity! !

Devils will take it over
And wildly they will dance.

Through brutalities and oppressions
This civilization will be extinct.

Humanity will revert back
To the beastly ape age.

With rampant deforestation
The earth will become grey.

Birds and animals will be extinct
Having no forest.

There will be no water creatures
In polluted sea.

And that day is not very distant apart,
When this green earth will be ruined! !

You are sharing the apprehensions of all of us dear poet... We are helpless as of now. A note of optimism cannot revive things either... A good poem sir

We all feel that we are heading into some sort of peril.... But let us hope that by the efforts of many, conditions will improve and nothing alarming will happen as we fear! A good write!

Amitava, your poem holds very explicit ways in which our world is being destroyed, it was with great sorrow that I read this poem, because I see it happening even now and no one seems to lift a finger to change anything. It is very heartbreaking to see our world crumbling like this because of a handful of evil and selfish people. You have very vividly portrayed the horrendous consequences that are befalling us at this moment. We need to learn to work with each other to make this a better world today so future generations will have harmony and peace for their children and themselves. Great poem! Great message, Amitava! 10 -10's! ! Thank you for sharing your views, they seem to coincide with many people of like minds. RoseAnn

Just commented upon natural harmony on poem of Akhtar Jawad. Our fear is imperative and reason for survival of human race. Live and let live is the only mantra for survival of all.In nature we all are supplement to each other. Your poem conveys the great message for maintaing the natural harmony. If a stone is thrown in a pond waves are sure to touch the shore.Much inspired with two poems. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
