Sustainable Development:- A New Paradigm

Our vices have outgrown our virtues,
Because nature casts no curfews.
Blessed with the riches by nature,
We have taken for granted our savior.

Economic development has become our main,
Development without care for environment has posed 
threats to the very existence of life itself.
Development and environment should go hand in hand.

Why to run tap when not using?
Did your basin ask you to, so as to cool itself?
Why to leave lights switched on in vacant room?
Is your room scared of dark?

Why to take vehicle for every small errand?
Your car won't get bored in garage, but your bicycle will.
Why to eradicate flora and fauna?
Their existence is backbone of yours.

Why to leave conservation part on others?
When we are equally active consumers.
Lets's all do our bit,
Not just debate and sit.

Our piece of inherited resources from ancestors is over,
We have borrowed much from our next generation.
Treat nature and its resources with sanctity,
To establish amity.
