ETERNITY

 

ETERNITY

 

Sleep on the velvety grass field,

Look at the sky blue mind wild,

Countless birds fly aimless, but,

Nests, surprising love lives a lot, (1)

 

The intricacy lasting eons stays,

Humans build houses, ruin essays,

Flying over lands, birds know not,

Humans create boundaries, effort, (2)

 

Freedoms, bird experiences, flies,

Cross ocean, continent, lo defies,

Thousand miles travel migrates,

Colonies noisy joyous intimates, (3)

 

Not there any fight breeding lot,

Ever check color class to escort,

Conglomeration, colorful, vibrant,

Megapolis, millions, inhabitant, (4)

 

Compare heart to bird colonies,

Million thrive, differ, harmonies,

Why do humans never learn lessons,

Divides your heart wall caution, (5)

 

Astonish slum hungers are visible,

Illiteracy sick child abominable,

Feel O human hot tears stream,

Opposite the street men dream, (6)

 

Standing on a heap of gold proud,

Exploit the weaker, greed cloud,

Boasts humans to be intelligent,

Defies rationality, life impatient, (7)

 

Mesmerize school college youth,

Wealthy parents pay well the truth,

Look at education, school bags,

Downtrodden at birth, see rags, (viii)

 

Educated learn evil, segregated,

To fight tooth and knell waited,

They learn hatred, anger, greed,

Learn book classify caste creed, (9)

 

Cherish their education shame,

Compared with birds, unlike the same,

Minutely observe birds, animals,

Plants fish in water is minimal, (10)

 

They live short periods supreme,

Divine radiate through extreme,

Simple nature food, water, sleep,

Procreate games superior weep, (11)

 

Weep, get noisy, happy and sad,

Fear grip with ferociously mad,

Animal hunts flesh eater a lot,

Humans can devour, at all costs, (12)

 

The tongue human has, tastes,

Everything is food less detests,

Why do humans separate to doom,

They fight war, cloud monsoon, (13)

 

Brutal killings wounded start,

Far from nature worships arts,

They worship rivers, mountains,

Well pray to wind water retain, (14)

 

Ceremony for plant auspicious,

Symbol tiger dear lotus curious,

Lo differ from nature, an animal,

Food, water, sleep, fear, life small, (15)

 

Procreate birth and death link,

Human! soul eternal lives sink,

Detect eternity love in blossom,

Resurrect life rebirths to home. (16)
