That's the difference

                                        Want, not the need 
                                       That's the difference
                                 The human creature is greedy
                           Much slighter than the birds and bees
                             They live life, human consumes life
                                  Each day he/she gets poorer
                              Losing peace, joy and contentment
                                The poor thing is always a loser

                                  Calling themselves as evolved
                                          Human species are  
                                      Fad and folly personified
                                 Victims of ego, craze and frenzy
                                    Turning intellect and wisdom
                                     Into nature's biggest fiction
                                   The mere mortals are pigmies 
                                Passing days in fear and suspense

                                     Mirage, mirage and mirage
                                               Nothing else
                                     Aching for more and more
                                  Oblivious of their inherent bliss
                                      Turning gains into losses
                                    Drowned in doomed destiny 
                                  Always hungry and demanding
                                The lesser ones swarm the earth

                            I wish I were a flower, butterfly or bee
                                   Living life for the life’s sake
                               Untainted by desires and cravings
                               Merged with breeze and sunshine 
                                 Lying in the lap of sky and stars
                                  Always in harmony with nature
                             With endless bounty of peace and joy
                                   Echoing as a song of eternity
