À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes. En cette Journée mondiale de l’environnement, nous célébrons particulièrement ces voix uniques qui nous invitent à contempler le monde autrement.

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand

everything better.” Albert Einstein

Erelong on the western fringe of a village

Stood since span of time a pristine forest

Cherished by nature-lovers of all age,

From the very oldest to the youngest.

It served as a catchment for steady rain,

Perfused the village with fresh and sweet air,

Served as resting haven for weary swains

And a scenery at which sight-seers could stare.

Now the forest has been vilely conquered

By concrete buildings of all shapes and heights,

With all the native trees and plants plundered,

And from nature pilfered a unique sight.

Let’s join hands to shield nature’s decadence

That over time threatens man’s existence.
