Among the victims of pollution are an old man, a baby and a crow.
Paraphrase
Stanza 1
He saw a dead crow in a drain by the post office. He also saw an old man and a baby
with a breathing problem in a crowded morning health clinic. The poet wonders why
we are still sufffering when we have a country that is so abundant with natural
resources like clean air and clean water.
Stanza 2
The poet demands clean air for his grandchildren. He wants the greedy businessman
who make huge profits from timber to stop destroying the forests. He wants a
green environment. He wants the politicians / government to plan development
carefully so that a clean and healthy environment may be preserved for now and
for future generations.
