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.
