Concepts 18 Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Where we are heading for we don’t know for ourselves
Up above somewhere God must be repenting for creating us
Created He everything in abundance and sent us to enjoy and guard
Wishful thinking His was in trusting us in guarding the Nature

Nothing less than treachery we committed towards Nature
Swayed by greed man trespassed the forbidden routes
Exploited the Nature with narrow mindsets sealing our future
Ended up in shortages ending all the abundance except our populace

Quest for technology vanished many a species many a bounties
Fauna and flora flourish only where our entry is not ventured
Inventions we boast of galore without proper fair intentions
Certain to remember beyond nature nothing can be invented

The humble zero speaks no value on its own
When placed beside any numerical number
It increases ten times the value of the number
Good people though lying in darkness make others shine!
