What Man Has Made Of Man Poem by Bharati Nayak

It is said that God has made man in his own image
He has bestowed on him the power of reasoning and intelligence
Love, kindness and compassion should be his spirit
He should be the protector of earth with his higher knowledge
No doubt, man has progressed much in science and technology
He has unraveled many of nature's secrets
He has sent space -ships to moon and mars
He is constantly working to solve the nature's mysteries.
But, has man really progressed?
He has invented many lethal weapons to kill other men
World War -I or World War -II is not a lesson still learned
We see how war weapons kill innocent men and women, not in one or tens, but in thousands
And their homes and properties razed with no medics, no food and no water, they flee for their lives
Terror and wars have devastated this world
See, what man has made of man!
