Forgive me!

a poem by Kalashree Selvarajah

River forgives us
When we throw rubbish in it

Sea forgives us
When we dump waste chemicals in it.

Air forgive us
When we pollute it with fumes

Earth forgives us
When we cut the trees out

Plants forgive us
When we feed them with artificial manure

Cattle forgive us
When we inject them with hormones

God forgive us
For all the sins we have committed

Oh! My Beloved
Hope you would forgive me

For the mistakes I have done
Out of ignorance!
