Earth Rotates
Time never stops                                                                         Rivers flow, clouds float
Wind whistles through treetops

Life is a cycle
From birth to death
For every living creature
It’s all in the breath

Nature prescribes and operates
in a cyclical journey
Yet, We struggle to ‘Settle’
and celebrate our tourney

While Time does not wait
Nature evolves with restraint
Goes about completing its task
Without a complaint

We continue to raise obstacles
in the name of progress
Showcasing greed in excess
just for an exotic address

When Nature finds alternatives
we label it Nature’s fury
passing judgements
like an obnoxious jury

Oh! What a circus we are
Enchanted only by the sights
Indulging in Perceptions of pleasure
under the razzmatazz of shimmering lights

Having drifted this far away
in a self-created boogie-trap
It’s only a brief vacation
when we enjoy mother nature’s lap

Should there be a role reversal
where we go back to our roots
Step out of the race
and hang up our boots

Lest we jeopardise
our existence and our future
For we cannot win
this one-upmanship with Nature
