Death Dream Poem by Aftab Alam

Death Dream

Rating: 5.0


We keep hens as they lay eggs,
Either we make omelet or boil,
Or let them hatch to their eggs
Chicks to roast or fry with oil,

We heard enough about Dynasore
Somewhere, its fossil found in core,
Gigantic, formidable; size and look
Resembled like dragons; we oft cook,

Wright Brothers, they gave wings;
Aircraft that soar high and swings,
Unlike hens, their eggs keep death,
Either we are boiled or turned to omelet,

We human; keep the mind of destruction,
And nature, calls for love and construction,

We human; keep the mind of destruction, And nature, calls for love and construction, Beautiful. Nature knows only creation but human knows only destruction. If there be any natural disaster it is also due to playing with nature. A thoughtful write. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, indeed! Humans have got destructive minds, inventions needs to be utilized in constructive ways, aeroplanes are used to drop bombs which kills many which is so bad, thanks for sharing this poem Aftab bhai :)

Nature has created every thing for a positive purpose but we the human beings use it in negative purposes. A nice write.
