THE FLOWING NECTAR

Born of white pure snow,
I shine as crystal and glow,
Like a maiden's gait I flow,
Jumping over the rocks, I grow.

Gurgling and rippling
With energy refreshing,
I carry the nectar,that's  life giving
To all of you,on your mother earth, so loving.

As I roll down frolicking,
I quiten down the plains,depositing
All my goodness within,leaving
With all your burdens,but still smiling.

You wash your sins, dump garbage,chemicals,hoping
I will wash away all the misdeeds,your dirt,quietly flowing,
But with all this within me I am pained and anguished,
My heart bleeds,narrowed,I suffocate,feel banished.

You literally rape me and abuse,
My kindness you take for granted and misuse,
When still I flow on and on without a complain,
Why grudge when my tears flood you?Why the complaints!

Get up and beware,unless you want to leave generations
Waterless,thirsty,leaving behind a dead civilization.
If you want your elixir of life,love me,give some respect
And I pledge the same to you,promise to never neglect
You all,earth's children,nor make your life wrecked..

-Madhumita
