As the meadows! As the star field! As the graveyard!

Gaurav Gurung

He asks me, what is humanity? I tell him;

We are as vast as a field of meadow,

Like the countless flowers that bloom,

Each of us, a different variety of flower,

Some, like the roses- Beauty with thorns,

Some, like the sunflowers- Guided by direction,

Some, like the tulips- Beauty with diversity,

Some, like the daisies- Innocent and jolly,

Some, like the lotuses- Adapting in harsh floras.

 

He asks me again, what is humanity? I tell him;

We are as spread as the distant Star field,

Like the countless stars that radiate,

Each of us shine and emit our own power,

Some shine brighter, their beauty we adorn,

Some are black, some white, all beautiful- God’s creation,

Some morph into comets! Such complexity,

Some are never discovered in the vast void- Not Golly!

Some radiate excellence, Differing are their auras.

 

He’s awestruck! Taken back by the beauty of humanity,

“However, there’s a catch”, I say

Humanity is as dead as a graveyard,

Such a hurtful place it is, containing a silence that kills silence,

A place so sinister, it breeds violence,

Arena of corruption, A colosseum of hatred,

Humanity is such a place which destroys the sacred,

“Who kills their mother?” Simply – Humanity,

You wouldn’t want to go there! It’s a ticket to insanity,

Humanity is as dead as graveyard! They kill their own kind,

Believe me boy, It’s not for your gullible mind!
