We save money for our children.

We invest in shares and stocks

 multiply the money in geometrical progression

 buy properties and allow them to appreciate

 thus grows money in arithmetical progression

purchase gold in lots and in kilograms 

 which again hops up to heights

 Well, we  have saved a fortune for our progeny

 and live in peace with the aim to earn more.

The life goes round earning and saving money.

 We forget the rest in an easy memory loss.

 Having spoilt all the natural resources

 having excavated volumes of sand from riverbeds

 making them now look like a desert.

 having felled all trees for ruthless expansion

 leaving the ground dry and desolate

having dug the earth deep for water

turning it into a tattered  empty shell

having resorted to artificial coolers and heaters

 emitting carbon monoxide destroying the ozone

 having adapted to fast food culture

 resulting in  terminal illness and speedy death

 having fertilised the crops with inorganic manure

subjecting  the  mother earth to a chemical  reaction

converting her to a barren unproductive land.

What are we going to leave to our children?

A waterless river running all through

A  land without any greenery .

A  ground with scars and holes.

An ozone totally shattered.

A generation bereft of immunity.

An unproductive land  where nothing could grow.

This is what we have saved for our  offsprings

 who would see no springs or lakes

 but envisage stretches of land

 bare and torn  very  badly injured.
