RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
The Ganges
The Ganges is a sacred river
To millions of Hindu followers
The embodiment of a goddess
They bathe in its sacred waters
They bury their dead in the Ganges
They dispose their sewage and waste
After centuries of endless pollution
The Ganges is a hopeless case
It was meant to purify humans
So the Hindu legends tell
But humans poisoned the Ganges
Turning heaven into earthly hell
Let us pray it is not too late
To turn the Ganges around
To cleanse the sacred waters
And reclaim a hallowed ground
