Competing With Nature... Poem by Sikta Anurakta

Competing With Nature...

Rating: 4.9


I compete with the sun
to shine brighter.

I had a bet with the moon
to soothe and heal humanity better.

I race with the wind
to eliminate epidemics & sorrows faster.

Mockingly I said the bamboo
of course, I can grow taller.

I can challenge the fauna kingdom on their wits
as I know I am sharper.

Wanna have a fight, I asked the Hippo
am n't that sure, but I know I'm stronger.

Envious stars now asked me, if I can twinkle? ? ?
Well all I can say is I can twinkle and sparkle...

It was now water's turn to inquire,
ok.I'll convert all unconventional saline water to mineral water.

Finally fire questioned, if given chance what would you burn? ? ?
TERRORISM..I answered & let nobody toy with our peaceful demeanour...

Well, who am I? ? ?
I am 'HUMAN'
enjoying and having fun;
It's true I can compete but can't exist
getting away from NATURE'S fist............
