God save our souls! A mother’s womb is a sacred place for each one of us. We alllived in her sacred womb and she took good care of us all with deep pain andsuffering for nine long months prior seeing the light of this beautifulcreation of the creator called Earth. The earth should be the most sacred placein the life of every human being where we begin and end our journey called life. We all are very well aware that weare here to go. So why most our us turn out to be selfish and greedy throughoutour life. It’s a very simple truth that we all depend on this planet and it’snot the other way round but sadly we have destroyed enough of this beautifulplanet in spite of knowing that we all will leave this planet with nothing one day,some day. The way we, the human power act, it looks like, we the human race isthe sole owner of this earth when there are so many other species having equalrights as humans. We even went to such an extent to destroy their habitat andwhen they started to enter our boundaries, we thought of officially declaring themas Vermin. We even went to the extent of allowing mafias to pollute our clean/freshair and water, in the name of industrialization thus proving the true qualitiesof us, humans.
Does well known liars ever spoke truth and stuck to their word?Once termed dallals turned out to be theirsaviors and our politicians speak about so called word. They lie, cheat, ruin, loot and when they die, we build theirsamadhis and fire few gun shots inthe air as a mark of respect for all their wrong doings throughout their life?Some of them speak about feeling at home when they jump from one politicalparty to another for personal political gains. Were they staying in gutters allthese past years of their respective lives? Politicians like Jack Sequeira andcompany of those days saved Goa from merger with Maharashtra being in oppositionwhen the ruling headed by Bandodkar was all out for merger and our ten formerCongress MLA’s says they merged themselves into BJP for the overall developmentof their respective constituencies. What exactly development means? Filling ofGoa’s fertile land, razing of beautiful green hills, destruction of Goa’s thickforest, allowing cutting of thousands of coconut trees to make way for a Beerfactory when Goa had enough beer, selling of Goa’s rivers to the centre and nowselling of Goa’s coastline to the mafias,etc.? The people in power even tried to kill their own people byallowing application of formalin to the fish imported from other states whenGoa has enough fish for its own consumption. The incompetentFDA director even went to the extent of saying the presence of Formalin in the fish is within permissible limits thus tryingto support the Formalin fish mafia.People of Vasco been forced to breathe air polluted with coal dust. Coal dustdeposits been witnessed in their houses and our politicians speaks about development.People staying around the surroundings of Sonsddogarbage dump in Salcette were forced to breathe poisonous fumes and gasesdue to the recent burning of the garbage dump and nobody really cares. For agespeople in power has been trying to find a solution for Sonsddo garbage dump but sadly we the people been voting for thesame garbage since ages so garbage in Goa always progressed and will progress.We destroyed the natural smartness of our Goa and now we are planning smartcities. Lord have mercy on us all.God save our souls. Joel MoraisP.O.Cuncolim,Bencleamvaddo,Salcette,Goa.mob-9970561727
