Journeying upwards, higher and higher
even as people, buildings, bridges
become smaller and smaller
to the size of tiny toys
and I view down from the vantage point
from up above through the clear blue sky
I notice, see them all
tiny humans with puffed up egos
believing the whole world
revolves around them
that all else exist for their pleasure
Other humans plotting and planning
for success any which way
be it by spewing hate, massacring others
anyone and anything seen as a threat
oblivious to the fact that they themselves
are transient beings, destined to leave
earth when their time comes...
How interesting this view
from the vantage point high above
to see all creatures big and small
maneuvering, striving hard for survival
yet none so vile as the humans!
Despite the blessing of intellect
reasoning and intuition they sadly
are unable to recognize the oneness
the unity of the universe...
Unable humans are, to live sans conflict
unable to recognize the truth
that everything is meant to coexist
that all beings, fauna and flora
are just perfect in their own place!
NB: This poem has been included in the anthology "Dream poetry-Restore space" brought out by the Soul Scribers Society during the Yercaud poetry Fest.
Everything is meant to coexist.
ReplyDeleteThat's it.
Thank you for reading and responding to the post!
ReplyDeleteHumans are unable to live sans conflict to their own peril (and also causing collateral damage to the other beings). So nice is the poem. If only the misled human-beings were able to grasp its essence !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much reading and sharing your thoughts on the subject!
