A billion years ago in time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother earth was in her prime; Her womb was so nourishing and fertile,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From it sprang life diverse with every mile..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The snow capped mountains stood tall in glory;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The depths of the oceans told a different story..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From it\u2019s waters emerged new life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Budding and blooming, bereft of any strife\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soil and sun worked in synergy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Filling the mother\u2019s womb with life energy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As seed sprouted and grew to become tree,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother earth went on a creation spree..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon thick forests covered the land,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As flora and fauna flourished under her nurturing hand;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fish swam and peacocks danced in rain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frogs hopped and birds ate their grain..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deer grazed as the lions sprang on their bait,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And turtles travelled far searching for their mate..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All her children went about their assigned duty;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But mother sighed as none understood her exquisite beauty..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So she created \u201cHuman\u201d with precision and diligence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Endowing him with the power of intelligence\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she played him her creation\\’s unique song,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All she wanted from him was to listen and sing along..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This child of hers whom she fashioned to be mild,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon turned out to be her wild child..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He used his unique gift of thought,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To conquer everything that he sought..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He cut trees and used up all resources,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his wastes, he polluted water at sources;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He burnt fuel excessively in all forms,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And meddled continuously with nature\u2019s norms\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mother earth watched in horror,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Man spread on her soil, hatred and terror\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He killed flora and fauna for his use,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She watched regretfully as all her other children suffered abuse..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As man slowly morphed into enfant terrible,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His self- obsessed ways become unbearable..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In causing destruction, as he became adept,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The generous mother\\’s heart wept..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his selfish motives on overdrive,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All plants and animals struggled to thrive..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As man repeatedly crossed the line, without being sorry,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He didn\u2019t stop even with his mother\u2019s fury..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She punished him with floods, quakes, hurricane,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his intelligence, from a boon had become a bane..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will this wild child of hers ever learn a lesson?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When will he put a full stop to senseless destruction??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He thinks he is the master of Universe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this gigantic ego of his is just a curse\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For in this infinitely vast creation he is just a tiny speck,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he and his clan of humans need this reality check..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is about time he mended his ways and reconciled,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise a mother knows how to teach her wild child..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
