Turquoise blue waters,
Such beautiful natural creations,
Gushing waves, with the sunrise and sunsets,
We go and sit besides, to relax and calm ourselves,
Holidays, we plan for our leisure,
Places, to witness natural wonders, we go for our explorations,
Travel, we do for our own vacations,
Seeing myself stuck,
Between my love to explore and love for environment,
Thinking about all stuff sustainable,
Finding it difficult to answer so many questions,
Asking myself and all our fellow beings,
Are we really protecting mother earth,
Or we are just shopping around, wasting around,
Touristing around spreading chemicals to kill,
The beautiful ecosystem, under the sea,
And above,
So mesmerising, but not to harm, only to see,
The nature, mother earth,
Is to worship, not for hardships,
But the sapiens, beings with brains,
Harming the innocent living beings turning their homes into drains,
Huge tons of diesel,
Pollution and all the infra waste in marine,
For protecting human skins,
Beautiful corals dying due to sunscreens,
Went to Maldives, once having one of the best marine lives beneath,
But now, 70 percent dead in a few couple of years,
Touched by the grief of dead corals, we didnt apply the sunscreen next day,
Got all the sunburns, for months now they would stay,
Hoping that we did our thing to save them,
But no, its already very late,
As they are already dead,
It would take so so many years to again build those lives,
Thinking about this, feels like nature is crying,
Came back after the vacation,
To read a news that a shark ate a boy in red sea in Egypt,
Wonder why did the shark visit the swim safe beach,
Probably because it’s home deep in ocean was not safe as it had earlier been?,
Or polluted and disturbed by man made things,
Ships or boats or infrastructures on islands,
Anything unsustainable thats harming their habitats,
The nature fights back,
With more power, than humans,
And would definitely harm our next generations,
Days later, we have the news of titanic sub imploding,
Extreme tourism they say, harsh but i say suicidal tourism,
Exploring amidst huge currents, deep in the ocean,
Is no different from tossing up your life to trial,
Tourism should mean to view, nature from far,
And just appreciating the beauty, like a star,
Smiling through, carressing nature’s forehead,
Like a baby to grow up good for generations,
Exploring places is amazing, but with a bottle of water to refill,
And leaving no plastics behind,
Trying to make choices sustainable,
Be it modes of transport, food, clothes or anything in mind.
