Man And Nature Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Man And Nature

Rating: 4.8


Man is perhaps , on Nature,
The worst parasite - fast and hard
Selfish, and a paradox of values barred
Loud and Cunning in every nomenclature

His links and kin, all alike
Varying in degree: tints of colour
Choosing the wrong for the right valour
Picking the evil and fatal to strike

Feelings are but funny and fake,
Knowledge in a bucket from the Cosmic well
Stories and admonitions, only to tell
For gains, ever - ready to strike

Laws and rules here do vary,
Unlike as in Nature, with Person and Pelf
All based on gain for self !
Even the innocent rocks are sliced off the quarry.

Beautiful illustrations. Even the innocent rocks are sliced off the quarry. I suggest you to read my poem On Nilgiri which too highlights the selfishness of man.
