Fittest Only Survives Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Fittest Only Survives



Bend not, people bring you to the knee;
Come not to knee, they force to their feet
And further try to trample over your crown;
It is how is made survival of the fittest,
By brain or brawn, who survives, prevails.

Struggle to survive is the throb of life,
Violence, assault, how nature navigates;
Feed on weak, and breed on strength -
They are the rules, inherent to the nature,
Choose to survive, or tread back, extinguish.

Love and kindness, generosity, sacrifice,
Honesty, truthfulness, sincere and fair -
Luxuries of survived, beyond basic needs,
Protective safe sheaths prevent any fights,
Oases of peace in dreary struggles around.

Needs spur the fights, and fights, violence,
Violence steers life to survival of fittest;
No needs, no fist fights, no winners around
Where soft human sides always breed and feed,
And cold quiet peace spreads and freezes.

Needs is the key; and abundance, its key,
Only nature holds all of its master key;
How mortal man can bring nature to its knee?
Survival is at core and nature dictates all,
Fittest only survives to further strengthen life.
