The Destruction

A happy day a happy life,

A man was out with his wife,

He was nature she was sky,

In the old times as it was,

Beautifully green and blue is what they were;

But Now their appearance made them cry,

The sky turned black and land barren,

To them, the ones responsible weren’t foreign.

The married couple was furious,

And only one specie was to blame,

The ones who didn’t care,

The ones who live only for fame.

Nature was a blessing which was to be treated with respect,

But the heartless creatures did the opposite,

They deserved to experience its effect.

It was finally time to let them bear their punishment,

A long overdue chastisement;

Overnight the world took a gigantic turn,

For centuries, humans had tortured the pair for no fault of their own,

Now they were taking revenge on the guilty accused and even innocent.

They locked them up and threw away the key,

The ones who escaped were seriously maimed;

The duo tried to make them feel ashamed;

But the mortals were living in their own little world,

In which they did no wrong and everything dazzled.

‘Oh’ the old couple said in frustration,

‘They never learn; It’s like they are awaiting their destruction;

And their crimes will have to be paid by the next generation.’

 

You And I

You are the reason why I cry,

You are the reason why I wanna die.

 

My well-wishers are pulling me up but you are pushing me down,

You are the reason why I always have a frown.

 

I did my best,

Tried to be better than the rest,

Do I not deserve even a tiny crown?

 

I deserve a happy life,

 not a hand holding a knife.

 

I deserve love and have people willing to give it to me,

But you won’t let me take it,

And I hate you for it.

 

Then again maybe that is why I am always upset,

 

Cause, you are me and I am you.
