LOSS
-
Ram
Krishna Singh (India)
The chimneys around my home
print black spots on the walls
darken the air I breathe and
the water I drink or bathe in
the owners know how to shut
the mouths of inspectors
and the mafia know how
to make money this season
politics of lack of rain
repair and management
scraunch smoke from wildfires away
to country’s gas emissions
they have their priorities
mission to rewrite histories
erase the past and erect
new walls of divisions
climatge change is no excuse
to mould the monds of Gen Z
in face of imminent doom:
stay quiet at morass of loss
