Destination Bougainvilleas

By Gurkirat Singh Aulakh

On the mark , for a run amongst bougainvilleas The soul escapes the imprisonment of the villas . The blooming hybrids adorning the mesmerising hues The tapered palms sustain the pearls of the dew . The welcome note by the skylark The canine’s gesture with the boo boo bark Chasing the swiftly swaying butterflies . The whistling parrots greet from the skies

The squirrels join the chorus in unison ‘’ pity the propagators of pollution !! ‘’ And lo ! the viper hisses from the bushes ‘’ moron , thou inhale the poison & fear my hisses ? ? The mongoose muttered at the mankind ‘s plight : ‘’ Thou toxify the Earth and fear our bite ?? The briskly busy bunnies and the humming bees Affirmed the global concern across the seas The money plants emptied their coffers of oxygen ‘’ our selfless service to the selfish gen ‘’ Bathed in truth , ashamed of its code Nature ‘s unkind mankind returns ;to be engulfed in its abode .
