Nature Versus Mankind
Metropolitan city, a fast-paced city
Tantalizing desires, dazzling fame stealthily bound to disintegrate
Swelling population, clustered houses, disparity among people, gazing with pity
High ambition, stiff competition, insensitive attitude sneakily tend to deflate
Flashback memories come to foresight together
Once, dense woods stand tall, creatures under one roof altogether
A mark of solidarity and in cohesion, help each other
Drooping trees bemoan, ‘How callous mankind axe us for pleasure’
‘How anyone tear us apart, lament in displeasure
Selfish and greedy, in equal measure.
Confronting setbacks, man with nature hasten to discuss nitty- gritty
Realized, hankering after mundane objects, inner self tend to degenerate
Thereafter, exchange pleasantry with one-another
Harmony and unity exist, a priceless, glorious treasure.
