Receiving the Deserved

now, 
the mother earth heals, 
the nature is getting bound by fresh and aesthetic feels! 
the air is getting pure, 
the polluted water is also getting cured. 
the birds are happily flying, 
the animals are content and smiling! 

maybe the trees are getting fresh, 
Because the pollution has become so less; 
We indeed made this heavenly earth a mess.

but, 
we are now held behind the dungeons we call homes, 
we are now asked to wash our hands until they produce foams; 
we are demanded to ignore each other, 
we are requested to stay as far as possible from one another. 

ever thought - 
we'd live the way, animals have been?
we'd be captured the way, animals were seen?
we'd freak out when someone would just let out a sneeze?
others would cough and we'd freeze!?

ever wondered - 
how those animals felt behind the bars, 
how many were hurt and were given painful scars; 
their cries have now become our tears, 
and we are complaining; overpowered by our fears.

well now this is how we need to live, 
Because when nature had plenty to give; 
we fought and made it all sick, 
we wanted power for which we played nasty tricks; 
and now nature has our destiny prepared which pricks.

now our regrets are all vain, 
because the earth has suffered real pain; 
we are still growing insane, 
Because  we don't even know when we'd be free of this deadly chain! .
