Some Day From Another Planet Poem by Amitava Sur
Some Day From Another Planet
A baby was pulling the shirt of her dad,
He picked her up lovingly within his lap.
Baby asked eagerly with her finger showing in sky
“ Papa – what is that star in the sky
Burning with smokes and dusts? ”
“ That was the cutest green planet - earth was it’s name
All the riches in your thoughts and dreams – were available there.
Some creatures were living there – human by name,
Creative, thoughtful and very intelligent were they.
Gradually through evolution they advanced to the peak
In science, arts, philosophy – in every stream in deed.
But as the time passes by, one thing got brewed
In each of them there was an unending –
Ego, desire and greed.
Everyone was venturing to be the supreme of all.
A fearsome fight started by destroying each other.
The whole planet is in an inferno -
Now it burns with flame and dust.”
Oh’ my little lovely baby I tell you now
This fireball is that planet what is burning there.
Everything was there with them
But the greed has wiped them out.

Such a vivid description of the earth and how it is being disrupted by humans. Much disrespect for others and selfish greed. Will we survive it all? Like it.
.. our dark side weighs more than our good side... humans though intellegent are the most dumbest beings... despite knowing what is right.. they do bad... nice poem...

A baby with eternal questions for a father. A vividly stark reality of what is going on in our world today, With all the gifts at our hands, we choose instead greed - very apt description of people today. Those greedy are ready to destroy everyone and everything so they can have a treasure to call their own. Very selfish, egotistical people leading us all to destruction of our earth.
