Stillness and serenity have finally made its way

by tearing apart the cacophony  piled up since ages

              To the call of mother Earth no heed humans pay

instead relentlessly squeezed  its resources

Fury of nature has pronounced its vastness

And made humans devoid of its forefront

What conferences could not do for decades

A tiny creature did it upfront

Birds have got back their free space in the sky

A whiff of fresh air engulfs the milieu

              We are caged while animals are moving freely

This paradigm shift will change me and you

As fear is lurking beneath the sheet of calmness

Parks, malls, pools have no significance left

Streets are empty with no human traces

Bare essentials are what we want

            Are we edging towards a full circle of life

            We started as hunters and before we end as gatherers

             Let’s pledge to change the course of our life

Be humane not inhuman is what our mother nature requires.
