I write poetry from time to time. Here is my latest poem, titled "Sand, Soil and Music" which was published in a local community magazine this month. The theme is centred around global warming - a current international issue of interest. Watch this space as I may post my other poetry work here!
Sand, Soil and Music
By Paulash Chatterjee
As sand and soil weep in dismay,
The music of the earth and the morning sun’s ray,
Seem to be hundreds and millions of light years away,
I awake with a pain for the lost music of this universe every day.
Global warming ensures that poisoned air,
And toxic seas make the earth cry and moan,
Softness of life is now all rock and stone,
The heart of the world is full of pain,
Let the sunrise herald a new day of rain,
Strange hands grab me and I can only but despair.
The fragrance of wildflowers is needed to begin a fresh day,
People around the globe must now for their actions pay,
Cities and roads cannot just go up and up,
Very much like being given a golden cup,
“What is the need for all this?” ourselves we ask,
We have put modernity on our face as a mask
All over this glorious little land,
Many a good people live far away and close to the sand,
Be aware of the goodness of the human spirit!
Let the music of a simple life bring a new inspiration,
To which our children and their children can give an increased amount of dedication,
This is the deep meaning of the goodness of the human spirit,
And one that our children and their children can from us inherit.
