Ground Reality Poem by Chandramohan Bhandari

We are already too many
Numbers keep rising
Needs rise exponentially
Liveable earth shrinks.


We have come to a point
Need for a new chapter
With a fresh understanding
Redefining
Progress, growth, development
A vision that mirrors
All connected things.

Soon did I realise
Ground reality shows otherwise
With our big bodies and small minds
We shall continue the way
We know best
Care only yourself
At the cost of the rest.

The giant ouroboros has
Already caught hold of its tail
Rest assured
It would not fail
Till it sees the end.
