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?

About this poem

The horse of civilization has reached the top of its hill. We are planning to keep alive our human race in outer world. Sad thing is our selfishness is making our present earth towards its destruction.
