The Ghost Of Our Gadgets I Blog By Arika,11,Faridabad
Arika an 11-year-old from Faridabad reflects on the environmental impact of e-waste through her poem, illustrating how discarded technology becomes a burden on the earth.
The Ghost Of Our Gadgets
In the shadows, where circuits fade,
Lies a forest of metal, a graveyard parade
Of Broken screens and forgotten wires,
Echoing whispers of the pollution’s heart.
Once they hummed a tune with life and light,
Told our stories, brought our sights,
Now they lie in silent decay,
Of tons and tons of waste.
Choking the earth with fritter away.
Plastic bones and copper veins,
Fingers of future wrapped in chains, chains of E-waste
The device once bright, now dimmed and cold,
A future traded for gadgets is bold.
The promises of progress, bright and new,
Leave behind a trail of toxic mist,
In the landfill’s deep and endless amount,
Where dreams of innovation no longer dance.they cry a silent hum
And yet we crave the next in line,
Another upgrade, another sign,
To leave behind the old and worn,
Ignoring the legacy they’ve borne.
So let us pause, and gently sigh,
As we watch our technology die,
And ponder the cost, before we race,
To discard again in this ceaseless chase.
because the ghosts of our gadgets will remain,
Haunting the earth with their silent pain,
They will remain for times unseen, times untold.
