A Selfish Race. Poem by Amitava Sur

A selfish race
________________
Our age old belief is like -
There exist angels or elfs around us,
That angel is a symbol of serenity and calmness.
She blesses us with love,
She preaches love, peace and tranquility.

But we the human on this earth
Do gradually do away from these.
With the passage of time
The more we're developing and getting comfort,
The more we gain confidence by becoming
More and more selfish and self centered only.

The more the time moves ahead
The more we're tearing off
That love and peace apiece.
Devils are getting predominant
In the minds of human being.

I doubt whether we can boast anymore now,
That we're the best species on this planet!
Love and peace are on the back sit now,
Leaving the stage for those autocrats and devils today!
