Death to Eternity

Once there was a materialistic world
which used to wake up even before the dawn.
It raced till it slumped down,
and then woke upto a new day,
just to have another race won.

Battles, rivalries and thirst ruled the world.
The legacy of ‘satisfaction’ had shattered all around.
The houses craved to become ‘homes’,
and nature laughed at man, who had almost drowned.

Looking at the lunacy of ‘man’,
the nature decided to ruin the materialistic world.
It brought a catastrophe which we called a pandemic.
It had the Earth resonated back with some old familiar sounds.

ature pulled out men and broke its materialistic shells,
to let them live, breathe, chirp and rest.
‘Houses’ turned homes valuing the life,
but sadly man made a captive in its nest.

A great lesson was taught by the nature,
to know how to balance a human’s life.
Nature only paved the way
to let man live and consistently thrive.
So, now, after all learning,
here we stand and evaluate our destiny,

as we eye towards our future with aghast uncertainty.

Let’s come together without fear,
and hold the world’s hand to soulfully prepare.
Come together and balance the aspirations to the dreams.
We need to balance the volcanic warmth to earth’s breezy streams.
Bring tears closest to some more smiles,
make dreams closest to the realities.
As we know that we have definitely learnt

how to balance death to eternity.
