Us is just a bundle of emotions

What is us if not just
a bundle of emotions
Not work, not just a job
Duties and obligations must
Yet with no feeling, no love,
 Where is the passion?
You look at years and years
And make sense of what you have done
Excellence and success
And all things right.
Touch your heart, look deep within
darkness
No laughter, no tears, no surrender
No one
Just a long line of
Works well done!

We are killing the trees

There were lakhs of us here
Looking at each other
Growing,deeper and taller
Shadier,
Sheltering lives,nests with little ones
The breeze through the leaves
Humming a melody
Holding life together
The clouds stopped to drain
The ground received bountifully
Holding firm the earth .
Sunlight filtered through small holes
Now there are only holes left
Big gaping holes
No breeze sings a melody now
The earth gives way
The sun batters
The nests are going away
Searching for their lost homes.
