Second Eden
I bow my head Your Majesty, Thou reign on heaven and earth
I wonder whence I look around to see Thy marvelous craftsmanship.
I exalt Thee considering how great Thou art and how beautifully for my mirth
Made the universe to manifest Thy steadfast love for man and with him Thy relationship.
The first gleam of light at dawn followed by an evanescent hue of gold orange yellow at noon.
The resplendent clouds that form golden canopy, hemmed with red lace border in twilight.
The infinite fascinating space illuminated with cluster of stars and the magnificent moon.
After the glorious sunset behind the spectacular horizon, where meets the sky and sea before night.
The sumptuous waterfalls and giggling of ceaseless fountains
The tranquil seas on full moon night with it's dazzling waves
The lush green meadows spread like carpet, the majestic crown of snow capped mountains.
The exuberant rivers with all their charm meet the sea for what they crave.
Deep blue Mediterranean, unfathomable Pacific, mighty Atlantic
Obey Thy Commands, satisfy human needs though they are Gigantic.
Rivers, lakes, streams and brooks quench man's thirst, fulfill his passions
Serve the humans, listening to Thy call to all the nations.
Splendid trees with blossomed flowers and ripened fruits, meet the necessity of food
Build abode, provide shelter to the wearied traveler everything they do for our good.
Ungrateful, we destroy and misuse them to fulfill our selfish ambition.
The human greed, pouring tar, mess up nature's canvas
To make pathway and trot the globe through the concrete bypass.
In the garb of civilization, modernization and industrialization,
Digging our own grave.
Deforestation, emissions, sophisticated war weapons and water pollution,
For our own offspring, what can we save?
Species are being extinct,mountains are melting,ozone layer is depleting
barren land is increasing.
Human intellectuals, have you ever thought what will be your future, how will you celebrate life which is so grand here?
The scientists plan to make colonies in space to save the human race.
We, God's children blessed with a home, a replica of heaven
Ruining His gift, once again to be banished from Second Eden.
Though Thou banished Adam and Eve from Eden to show Thy wrath
You made the Second Eden for You so loved the man and adorned the Earth
Stubborn man! why don't you save your haven before you fly to an alien land
Where you ought to make a home in the sky, desert or on sand?
