Can We Excel Nature? Poem by Ramesh T A

When all businesses are closed and lights are switched off,
Silent prevails in the town busy all day long daily sans fail;
So also, at the peak of Summer heat, everything is silent here
With no vehicle or men rushing with noise as was in the past!

Who is controlling who?Is it man controlling Nature or Nature?
Whatever be the advancement of man and development of technology,
Man cannot be the master of Nature ever since the dawn of modern
World, in which we are proud of our achievements so far damn sure~!

We are all living products created by Nature and hence, how can
We be controlling Nature instead of obeying to it for better life
Rather than civilized life we are proud of by reducing all burdens
We have been bearing in doing our works and living life so far..!

Have we overcome diseases like cancer, diabetes, blood pressure,
Cold problem and old age we are struggling to cure forever?
Can we stop hunger and death that make us unable to overcome them,
Even though we are proud of modernity and civilized way of life?
