The Human City lies, in the night,
Darker than ever, though 'tis filled with light.
The evil aura of that vile race
Hangs around it, heavily laced
With Pollution-both Physical and in the Mind.
Everything around it, slowly sank,
The once-beautiful now decayed and dank...
Mother Nature herself cries to see
How cruelly so-called 'Humanity'
Destroys all that was peaceful, sweet and kind.
In those rectangular, unnatural dwellings,
And on those streets, are being done vile things.
Look in that house, that creature foul,
Angry, reeling, drunk as an owl-
Advancing on his bruised and beaten child.
And that girl, in that lonely street,
Cowering in fear, chased by savage Beasts...
Exhausted running, now trying to hide,
Staring wildly around on every side,
As they creep up, unnoticed, from behind.
The City crouches, hungry, hunting,
Concealed in smoke of its own making...
Hearts destroyed in the search for gain
Planting malice, reaping pain-
Evil itself, personified.
The Heavens look on with tortured Eyes,
As the power of the Devil continues to rise...
Faith in the Almighty fades away
Endless Night arrives, preceding no day,
Bringing Chaos, as order unwinds.
The people degrade into savage creatures...
Greed and rage their defining features,
Their hearts filled with desire
As they burn in an eternal Fire
Bringing Hell to Earth, as the End arrives...

As a species comes to an end...
Has it ever happened with you, that you hear something, or read about something, something totally unconnected with your life, your world...and yet, somehow, the world seems a darker place...blacker, somehow? It happens with me everyday. Every single day. All i have to do, is open the newspaper...
It hurts somewhere deep, inside, when you see what the human race is doing to itself...when hate is so much easier than love, when more people harm each other each day than smile, even, when the ruling emotion in our lives is frustration...when all you can feel, when you see the stranger on the road, is mistrust and fear...
The villages, where our very sustenance is grown, the places most connected with Mother Earth, have people committing suicides every day, as the cruel people exploiting them, milking their innocence, shrug and find someone else to kill...and elsewhere, animals are slaughtered in the millions, a huge, unending river of thinking, sentient life being destroyed continually, to feed pure, selfish, self-destructive greed...
The concept of beauty loses all meaning and value, when faced with profit, the idea of earning money...hills are destroyed to build more, bigger, more expensive houses...whole forests vanish, replaced by factories, spewing death of every kind, destroying the World...
Children, supposed to be the very symbol of innocence, fill themselves with so much hate as to destroy everyone they can, in their very schools, supposed to be Temples of education, before destroying themselves...
God has become something only foolish people believe in, and anarchy towards the Laws of Nature has become THE way of life...
Our rulers, who are supposed to guide us, to show us how to live, are absorbed only in their obsession with money as the very system they live off crumbles around them...uncaring of all the lives they destroy every single DAY...
Our celebrities, the people we WORSHIP, are worse humans than us, and we all, perversely, enjoy seeing the hidden truths about them cruelly exposed...the shows we watch the most are the ones with the most hate, the most fights...and these shows are called the 'Reality' of our lives...
This Diwali, the Festival of 'Light', i look up at the Sky, and all i can see is a haze of smoke darkening the Sky...adding even more Darkness to our lives...slowly, inexorably, blotting out each tiny, twinkling star of Hope...
Sometimes, when you see all this, you flare with rage, ashamed that you must be a part of this species too, wanting to scream, to shout, to CHANGE things...but sometimes, overwhelmed by the utter hugeness of our self-destructive evil, all you want to do is sit down, bury your head in your arms, and cry...cry your heart out...as you feel the pain of an Earth, a Mother, whose children determinedly, surely, tread the path to a waiting, patient Hell...
