ENDOSULFAN

Behold these poor souls in pain

Limbs thin and twisted tongue

And vision nil in their dreary eyes

But, may their inner thoughts be clear

May  they see what you do

And hear what you say.

We wonder and question

Why you still waiting?

Why don’t you to do a bit

To save the approaching age

From being like this poor hearts

Or like other hundreds!

With poisoned blood and genes!

You, monarchs in high mansions

Have eyes nevertheless blind;

Ears yet deaf; tongue however tied!

Open your eyes, listen with heart,

They are our brother and kin

No vision but tears their eyes have.

We are not begging,

We demand sharp and shrill!

Raising our voice high-

“Exterminate this toxin

From our mother earth”

Or else our children would drown

In this hot and poisoned tears!
