Limitless Human Hubris
Human hubris refuses humility even in misery
Challenging Nature as an enemy is egomaniac
Declaring war when peace needs be made by
Omnivorous human species threatening life of
All other species on beneath or above the earth
Disturbing the solar system intruding the space
Carrying nuclear fuel even to distant galaxies
Can man drop nuclear bombs on planets like
He did it on Hiroshima, Naga Saki elsewhere
Destroy everything created so far by someone
Other than human endeavour and technology
Someone whose brain is evidently superior to
Human mind skills power to create or destroy
Natural occurrence mere mild warning to man
To share instead of appropriating everything
Expropriating the share of species of creation
Rights and duties of all species well laid down
Breaches are viewed seriously accompanied
By severe punishment in some form: disaster
Disease landslides floods fires famine follies
Exacerbating the fury of Nature is calamitous
Polluting air water or earth is not pardonable
Destroying animals, trees or other life forms
A felony attracting exemplary punishment if
Warnings are ignored by hot heads failing to
See the exasperation of the mightier one who
Hands out in no time lessons need be learnt
Acknowledge humbly the benignity of Nature
Man at best the custodian of Nature’s bounty
A trustee like a banker or a listed company
A ruler to serve equally man wild vegetation
Weaker in comparison to the mighty he dares
Ruining air water soil most uncaring thinking
Nature will not make them disappear any day
Nature too can choose to turn unnatural some
Day dry the oceans suck the air squeeze soil
Respect Nature the Mighty, propitiate Her for
Her benignity to escape certain catastrophe.
