The character of this field has changed

Everything acts weird

I can’t recognize anything

My lily pads in the pond-

She isn’t spreading her wings

My green fields with mustard flowers-

I don’t know who they are now

My favorite lotus, she looks so sad!

She was always happy and energetic

Oh technology!  What did you do with my greens?

Why is everybody attached to your digital screen?

Oh social media! Tell me what you did with my earth?

I see none of my friends playing with the dirt

If this is so, what will happen to our souls and hearts?

Moonlight, become a witness

Note down all these disgrace

Record all social rots

This loss, I can’t afford!

I don’t know how I will tackle all these odds
