Life, unbearable

Life, unbearable
P K Routray

Mango the king of fruits is ripe with sweetness at its best,
falling from the trees to the best of our taste.
Cuckoo the best singing bird is cooing melodiously hidden behind dense foliage and from an unknown nest
But both temperature and humidity here keeps our lives stressed.
Making life unbearable and physically painful,
No respite to touch such beauty and sublimity in our emotional and intellectual level.
Sweetness of mango and cuckoo have to us now tastes immaterial,
Heat, humidity are taking the toll and making living hostile.
Wish to have wings to fly to USA and Australia,
to have a comfortable stay, and to avoid this heat and humidity lava.
With both temperature and humidity being bitter enemies at the same time,
To struggle for a life so called artificial luxury for us is no longer environmental crime.
We are being forced to drift from natural living and nature,
Can we answer as to who are responsible and what will be the future?
