Race of civilization
The horse ran and ran
And reached the top of the hill !
Asked him,
Hey, where are you heading to?
Wide opening his big eyes
And staring at the sky far away
Said he
‘Why? That’s there!
Haven’t you seen the new earth?
How beautifully smiling at us?
To be there only
To keep alive your future generations!’
Oh, my dear! Why want us to become
Emperor of emperors?
Have you not seen this very earth?
How bleeding she now from her heart ?
Oh! Isn’t she breathless today
From poisonous fumes
Of emperor’s heinous selfishness?
