Heal the Bleeding Earth

By Subhash S. Naik

Todays environment is full of pollution, and people are either not aware of its dangers, or even if they know, they simply ignore them. But, if we allow the pollution to go on uncontrolled, it could be the end of the world as we know it. But no use crying over spilt milk. The time to act is NOW !

The poet decided that rather than writing a technical book on the subject of pollution and environment, he would use a creative way and present this subject through verses.

After publication of Part One, titled Wreath for the Earth?, which was published by Partridge, this is Part Two of verses. Like Part One, these English verses too are a free-translation of the poets own Hindi poems.

These verses are addressed to young adults and teenagers who are the hope for tomorrows world.
