It is a Beautiful World

Or is it???? Several indications are there that the world might not be a better place to live in. With War, Sickness, Natural calamities, the scope of beauty just decreases in the world. Nowadays, there are only individual instances of beauty being recognized. This post wont be a long theoritical piece, but rather a poem which summarizes, in a nutshell, what is there in the world of today.

I read in books,
the world is a beautiful place,
The Mountains, the scenary, the flowers,
Nature's sights, peace, tranquility,
all are what man desires.

But, in this age, things are different.
No-one cares for Mother Nature, for if they did,
Trees would not be cut, animals wont be xtinct,
Waters wont be polluted, the Air would not be toxic,
Calamities wont claim so many lives.

No one cares for Mother Nature, for if they did,
Nature's essence would not have been tampered.
Floods, diseases, drought and famine tell us loudly,
that we continue to destory the essence of nature.

No one cares for humans, for if they did,
Wars might not get legitamacy, they wont get backing.
Weapons of all kinds destroyed man in years, months, days,
and now man's psyche produces weapons that kill in seconds.

No one cares for humans, for if they did,
The world would not practice ignorance and fanaticism.
Under the guise of followers of a Supreme being,
Man kills fellow man, and the rest of its kind practices isolation.

Nobody cares for anything now-a-days.
Many say that the age of reason is upon us,
but all humankind have become irrational,
they have forgotten that All are the Same.

Animals, Man and Plants have very limited time,
for in this age of so called reasoning,
their life will be limited, and they will be extinct,
It is not a Beautiful world out there anymore.

It is all in the mind,
the beautiful world is in our mind.
Trust only whats in the mind, and man
risks extinction very soon.
So much for the Beautiful World!!!!!!!!!!
