The Fire In Your Eyes

 


The Sun goes down

And the Moon comes up

The cycle continues..

But the fire in your eyes never 

goes down.

How do I know?

It stares at me so.

And in my heart

I feel it all rising

The air unbreathable, overrun 

with smoke

The temperature unbearable

An overdose of heat.


Tell me why your determination is so.

You want to be great.

You want to be Me.

Tell me why do you show such ignorance.

Indifference to your childhood – for you only get one.

You want to earn,

But first you have to learn.


This is the problem with you, now.

I see that you can’t be fixed.

My creation is undeniably flawed.

I wish I could keep you somewhere close to me,

So you don’t create any trouble for me.

Oh! You want to be free, I see.


I have checked after you for years now.

But the fire in your eyes has sealed 

your fate.

Why in the world would you provoke Mother Nature

Please, I beg of you.

Do not take me lightly,

For I am your God.


I see that you’ve made her eternally sick,

Unable to fight back.

Earlier she was all powerful

But your ego and greed..

It made her crack.

Her trees are dying ever so quickly

And her reservoirs are done for good.


Now I am going to punish you with a remedy of my own.

It will make you get a cold and cough

And make you stay home

I hope you are prepared for the shock

The following years are cursed for you,

Except for the Ones who find peace in themselves.

And once you learn your lesson,

I shall free you of this curse.


Uh-oh.

In all this mayhem, your God has 

forgotten how to stop it

You’ll have to come up with a cure of your own.

I am ever so sorry.

But for now,

My curse shall make you say your last prayers.


It seems that the fire in your eyes has led you astray,

And you cannot find your way back,

That’s the price you pay for making her crack..

Educate Girls To Fight Climate Change: Malala

  Keeping girls in school and taking young climate leaders seriously are keys to tackling climate change, Nobel Peace Prize winner  Malala  Yousafzai said on Friday. Speaking to a virtual panel,  Malala , 23, said educating girls and young women, particularly in developing countries, would give them a chance to pursue green jobs and be part of solving the climate crisis in their communities. "Girls' education, gender equality and climate change are not separate issues. Girl's education and gender equality can be used as solutions against climate change,"  Malala  told an online event by British think-tank Chatham House. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, some 130 million girls worldwide were already out of school, according to the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO, which said more than 11 million may not return to classes after the pandemic. "When we educate girls ... they can become farmers, conservationists, solar technicians, they can fill other green job...

Post 7% Cut In Emissions,Experts Warn Of Rebound

Image
  Coronavirus restrictions led to a record 7% fall in global carbon emissions last year, but the drop will be short-lived unless efforts to phase out fossil fuel are intensified, a study by scientists in the journal Nature Climate Change said. The study by scientists from institutions in Australia, Britain, France, Norway and the United States, confirmed preliminary estimates from May last year that global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels fell by 7%, or 2.6 billion tonnes, to 34 billion tonnes. On Tuesday, the International Energy Agency said global CO2 emissions dropped by 5.8% in 2020. The study in Nature Climate Change analysed daily CO2 emissions across 71 countries and six economic sectors, using data from daily electricity use and mobility tracking services. To keep the global temperature rise to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) this century, emissions must decrease by 1-2 billion tonnes a year, the United Nations says. "When fossil fuel infrastructure is put in...

Now, a low-cost portable machine to grab plastic bags

A team of students has developed an innovative portable and lowcost machine, which efficiently collects discarded plastic bags. The machine, created by six final year engineering students from the Sona College of Technology in Salem, Tamil Nadu, is currently undergoing rigorous trials on the streets, within the municipal limits of the steel and textiles town. "The plastic waste collecting device is mounted on a sturdy frame with an infra-red sensor attached to a mobile vacuum chamber. It is capable of sensing plastic on the roads and attract it," project leader TV Kishore Kumar said.The idea and the execution. The Idea and execution Kumar, along with classmates N Javeeth Khan, R Akash, S Lokeshwar, R Dinesh Babu and R Ilavarasan, were inspired to create this device, after a call by the PM to make India plastic-free. The team integrated a shredder as an add-on accessory, which shreds the collected plastic bags. This shredded material was then mixed to concrete as a replacement...
