Let's view,
Let's review,
Let's probe,
Let's ponder,
Let's in the lane of memory wander......
Seven continents,
Seven wonders,
Seven seas,
More than 8.7 million species.
Six types of forests
Tropical, Mediterranean, Deciduous , Coniferous and Evergreen rain forests.
Four types of landforms
Mountains ,hills, plateaus and plains.
Four types of deserts
Subtropical , Coastal ,Cold winter and polar deserts.
Five different types of weathers
Sunny, cloudy ,snowy ,windy and rainy....
Beautiful flora and fauna...
Endowments of The Prime Mover Almighty are multifarious and much more than many ...
Many was many
As long as there wasn't any concept of money.
Money which in this day and age is considered to be sweeter than the nector or the honey ...
All species took
Only as much which was their due.
But there is one species which has disfigured the Earth's countenance ,
Which has discolored the Earth's beautiful hue....
Who has the brain
To think, to scheme,to justify ,to defy and to deny,
To take, to make and break,to steàl , to rob and to destroy ....
Whatever was a bliss
Was made to look hideous by him who has proclaimed himself to be the crowning glory .
But sadly whose ways are ruthless , lethal and gory....
By whom
Forests are cleared
Concrete jungles are reared,
At whose behest
Natural and organic has taken a backseat ,
Pesticide fed high breed crop is grown..
But for human creed
There is no end to his greed .
His palate ,his hunger is deeper than the deepest well
Which nothing or no-one can satiate.....
From cow to hen
From monkey to donkey
From worms to crabs
From fish to snakes
From rats to bats
He has the capacity to eat them all.....
What to talk of devouring them raw
While they being still warm with life
He can gulp and chew using his denture in place of knives and utensils...
Instead of counting blessings
Humans accumulated curses
Nuclear weapons
Chemical warfare
Countless ailments
Cancer, AIDS
Multiple flues
Swine,Bird or Avian
Deadly viruses like
Ebola, Zika and the latest Corona.....
Corona which has halted
All his trams
Metro , bullet trains and all his aeroplanes...
Corona has brought to a standstill though may be for some time.... warning bells have been rung to show humans their true place....
To bring home the idea that he may try to act smart and play cleverly his role...
Yet in reality he is no better than the mice...
As now to save his skin
He has only one way out which is to isolate ,to shut himself in his house or hole.......
Otherwise God knows would there be anyone left on this planet to count the corona toll............
Such an amazing poem ......
