A Walk In The Woods Poem by Aakash Nengroo

Yesterday was an extraordinary affair...
I heard birds talk..and lions and bear...
You see..i was walking alone..merily..
Through a forest beset with blessings...verily..
Smoking my pipe i whistled in joy
forest itself was the source of my joy.
Marvellous...amazing and beautifull and green...
The beauty was pure...untoched..unseen..
Soon i walked by a beautiful parrot...
And a cute rabbit eating a carrot...

Welcome O! Traveller..they said in glee
Surprised and scared i wanted to flee..
Dont be scared on our meanigful words...
When language is love...u can understand even birds...
Relaxed..i sat down with them to talk..
About the beauty that i saw along my walk...
'How come this forest is lush green...
In this era of oil..and smoke and machine? '
'It is untouched by humans'.said a voice from a bush...
A bear emerged from there..full of anguish
He was so huge and so furious....
But sat down with us silent and curiious

'Dont be afraid of the bear's anger'
The rabbit assured me of no danger...
'He is just pissed on you ' he added
What did i do? I said...a bit offended
'Not just you...but all your kind..
Where an unselfish human is hard to find'
You benefit from us yet u pollute...
Your wickedness is getting satanic salute....
You kill the other beings for petty pounds
Uncontrolled and uncivilised like unruly hounds...
Your selfishness is never satiated
You were lucky but turned illfated....
Near is day when you all will be doomed....
Even your inklings will be broomed
We humans might feel proud of our fame....
Listening to that rabbit my head boqed in shamed.....
