The Secret

The Secret - Courtesy Anshul ( Sorry for infringing your copyright )

I think you've always known
But juz not willing to accept
Even though you have physically grown
Havent fully grasped the concept

Of remembering your roots
Many of which you have already tread with your boots
Sorry is often the easiest word
It goes off from your mind as easily as your lips could afford.

A wonderul creation called man
Stumbled upon this earth
And spread across the globe as many a clan
Caring for this stupid rock, a dearth.

Often amid the beauty of nature
Have you been lost in admiration
When building your business stature
Have you lost it in extermination.

"I never cut down the tree
Neither did I pass any decree
To fell nature's loved treasure"
But the truth reveals a devastation too huge to measure.

Looking up at the sky is a wonderful sight
On many a blissful childhood night
When you grow and increase your might
Air pollution and the like is often taken light

Even when you work, you damn the road-user's plight
At a traffic signal, for instance, smoke and ash you smite
When you become your own boss, the lesser beings become blight
"Who cares about the road, I always use the flight !"

The cool breeze flowing across the placid sea
Makes him yonder and put forth a humble plea
"Soothe me down when I am heated and aint so glee"
But after that, poisons in tons he spouts and the ungrateful does flee.

The wind cant talk, the sea cant complain
Atleast we dont know, to put it simple and plain
What we do know is that we mercilessly have slain
A number of future generations (not juz humans) from those that remain.

You care for the tree and the majestic wood
When you know nothing but the trees give us food
When you are taught the usefulness of trees, you brood
Taking oath that when greenery is felled, I will intrude.

But oaths are promises and promises are meant to be broken
Even if u dont realise, you use tree-products even before you are ten !
And start making use of 'science' using trees to make a money fountain
Finally to make it even, you join greenpeace when you are old and rotten.

Trees, birds and animals have gone down in billions
While you try converting them into millions
"There wont be a tree after 150 years" warns some bearded professor
"So what?, I wont be there then" yawns a person busy with his processor.

Thats the attitude infused in a man
When he realised that he can do whatever he wants in his life span
With this stupid earth, cos he's God's most precious gift
His atrocious arrogant thinking sadly adrift.

Man is deeper than the ocean
And more expansive than the sky
But once he gets the scornful notion
That he is the best and gets his ego high;

Usually happens when he is in his prime
What follows is a bucketful of crime
Once that happens, there aint a lot more time
Before the proud arrogant man does sublime.

Survival of the fittest argues the biologist
Live while you can, grins the philosopher
Capitalism rules, laws of demand and supply exults the economist
Just to mention a few; are arrogant men, if you can decipher.

Lemme finish this piece of mine thus:
Only in a dictionary should I come before us
Lets not let man destroy what we live in, with his superiority
For these atrocities to cease, man must clarify his priority.

Dictatorship in Iraq, warmongers cry aloud
Let the dictatorship of earth not be forgotton under this cloud
Its the collaborated effort that can halt this destruction under a thousand pretext
I hope against hope that people make sure that after dinosaurs, humans wont be the next.

I hope Mother Earth tries to be fair
And survives this massive man-scare
We can pray, but to see the end, we wont be there
All we can do is try our best to prevent this massacre.

May this piece of common wisdom
In this scary big bad world, prevail
Let there be sense and humbleness in stardom
Cos thats the first step for man to survive and travail.

Live and let live, our dear Earth
Let us not betray it for our glory, money or fun
Please spare a thought for someone who has borne us from birth
Else it will just be the third rock from the sun.
