Illusion of Reality

I smile watching scintillating fiery,
A fury of stars and galaxies.
Fire is not sparking.
Echelon of smoke not covered skies.
Sand is not irritating my eyes.
Kids are not starving.
Mothers hadn't lost their children.
wives are not screaming.
Lands are still home to creatures.
Waters is still with high waves.
White flowers are still blooming.
Butterflies are still dancing.
Birds are still making love.
Red maple is still growing beautifully.
Lily of incus is still favorite of honey bee.
Everything is beautiful but scary,
Nothing never last forever.
These falling star, a genie of wishes once,
Now seem to be a messenger,
Of something very unknown but am very scared.
This is depressing.
More scary, I am not understanding beauty of this nature.
I am fearing for something 
What if we lost this beauty,
What if we are the only reason of it.
What if innocence of eyes of animals is betrayed,
By us only.
What if humanity extinct,
But human left.
What if development of technology is on the cost,
Of destroying human values.
Am not predicting all these in air,
It is happening,
Every second we looses our one part of humanity to devil.
Every second we destroy what we even can't think.
Every second we do something very unimportant things we should not.
I just hope all this world to 
Be magical like fairy tale.
Never ending magic and laugh.
I don't see any hope we can be mature,
Enough to accept truth of living.
We are living in a reality,
Which is a illusion.
It's a reality of our thoughts 
Not a reality with moral of humans.
Yes being human is a bliss,
It's a blessing,
But we have some duties to do.
We have to respect this space,
We have to respect this nature,
We have to respect ourselves,
We are not a entertainer of other,
We are a hero of our existence,
We are a saviour of others,
We have some work to do.
But we are doing something wrong,
Very wrong,
I can't explain it but can feel it.
It's very hard to connect my words.
But it's just a thing 
That feel the reality 
Not the illusion of be in false reality.
Love yourself 
Love me 
Love everyone
