A Sound of the Body
The world with its ecosystem has a physical body
Where we live and die - the elements are inter related
As the sky with its stars and planets
The human body - with its flesh and blood
Good or harmful deeds- feeling bright or sick
Time is passing so rapid that makes it aged, decay and die
The condition is the same for body of us and the earth
By the cutting down of so much trees
The weather getting imbalanced day by day
Takes it so hot and dry, breaks the banks of the rivers
Seeping the oil on the waters
It is as if the hungers feed
Emitting the carbon dioxide much on water and surface
That the greenhouse effect we suffer from the terrible heat of the sun
The life is changing to decay, die day by day
Because of its misuse of everything, ignoring all we should have
As the sight of the disbelieving incidents of the earth
Feeling sleepy at the time of raining, I go to my bed
In the sunlight or moonlit night
I walk on the carpeted ground with its beautiful green
How far the glorious fitness of the body will continue
The condition of my body inside and outside speaks out, speaks out.
