Boasted, Richer Rich Richer Rich

“I am the richest person,

What is it in the world I cannot afford?

Land, money, diamonds, pearls

Jewels are all mine”

 

Who is Rich?

The one who has Money?

Who is Rich?

The one who has Diamonds?

 

Greed and hunger

smothered nature

Oh! Nature is destroyed

Land is barren

Ocean is weeping

“I am not for garbage dumping”

 

Don’t do this sin

Humans! Humans! Humans!

If nature diminishes

Humans will vanish

You called it wealth

Mere paper and stones

Oh foolish Richer Rich! Richer Rich!

The treasure of richness

Lies in nature’s womb

Food, Water, Oxygen

 

Is there anything more

precious than these?
