The
Change of Time
The sound of hard, falling tears of
the sky does not only mean it is rainy season but also mean how nature wants to
express how painful the mother earth is suffering right now. The lightning and
thunders irritate and keep our eyes open during a sleepy night wanting us to
look and see what we are doing in the environment.
Listening at the stories of our
grandparents, how I wish I would go back at those times when they had
experienced the least and mild spread of diseases and illnesses. When they lived in simplicity, and worked
under the gentle rays of the sun and with the harmonious charm of refreshing
air from the tall trees. When they walked barefoot in the rocky road without
hesitation and yet at the end of the day, they are sound and well. But it is a
poignant reality that I cannot go back but live on with the hope that the earth
will be better.
We all dream of progressive and
well off living, where we won’t walk to the distant places, we have someone
serving us, and where we won’t wear just one or two clothes. Technology and
machines help us achieve almost all our dreams, yet, along these inventions of
modern technologies- transportations, factories and other industrial materials
like commodity wrappers, is the slow death of land and waters that are source
of our living.
In addition, the wastes clogged on
our canals, burnt and treeless mountains, establishments and factories built in
those converted lands and those chemicals and poisonous substances washed out
in our garden and rivers. our nature is
now showing what we really deserves. Landslide, floods and other forms of
unbearable situation our friend had experienced after an earthquake, typhoon
and tsunami attacks.
After such ferocious attacks of
calamities, many people suffered, died and ill, many structures were being
blown and destroyed and especially the livelihood, the crops that they worked
hard for, where they get everything they need for a living. Apart from that,
from our wastes and garbage, virus, bacteria and germs were developed and will
fly on our air combining with the smoke of cars and factories that causes
diseases and illnesses or worst causes death at young age.
Many people say our food nowadays
is not safe unlike before since many chemicals are poured over the surroundings.
Carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid and other elements were copious at the sky that
when it rains it will mix up with the water that will fall at the plants that
we are eating.
Change is the only constant thing
in the world. But if that change is for better if not the best, I guess human
race and the whole universe will live on forever with joy and contentment.
