Nature Creates..(A Simple Oone)

Hmm… I wonder what I can do to this world,

It is too parched and dry!

I think it needs a little joy

With fun and frolic fly by!

Cracked lands need to be infused

With something relishing and alive

Yes! I can request the raindrops!

To flood these pathetic plots to life

Now, there is a flood everywhere

And a large mass of water

This will be named as “oceans and seas”

And it will be a piece of wonder!

But now, there is no place to walk on

All the dry lands are gone!

I will ask the sun to bring some heat

This will make enough space for feet

Now some greenery should spread around

So glee can always be found

Here and there, sprout up and bloom!

The world must be void of gloom!

These will be named “Trees, grasses and shrubs”

Hmm… Shall I add some beauty to it?

Flowers and Fruits! That will be their name!

Their job is to be lovely, and never lame!

“Not everything is perfect” is the age-old adage

So I can add some danger in my creations, for a change

This will be “Poison”, bloody and cruel!

Some of them look enchanting, but in the inside, it is not cool!

Well, I guess, my work here is done!

It is flawless! Just look at the splendor!

I can go back to rest! It has been a long day!

In this planet called “Earth” is where I would stay!

“Whoa! Not so fast! You aren’t done yet!”

Says a divine voice, that ranges far and wide

Who are you? And how dare you demand me not to stop?

You think you are great? Man! You are so over the top!

“Nature, I think you don’t know me,

I am your creator, the future’s rare belief

I wanted to ask you a cr

ucial question,

Do you think, your work, will just be a piece of admiration?” asked the voice.

Oh, I deeply apologize, please do forgive me,

I guess, I need to think about that, sounds intriguing!

Well, if my art, just stays,

Who will protect it when I fade away?

“I want you to first create some animals-

Like Dinosaurs and other rare creatures anything you want,

Make them live for millions of years

And at a point, extinction, they must deserve.

After their death, pave way for the next,

“Cavemen” is what they shall be called,

Give them stones, twigs and other essentials,

For fire and pure water, they must do it on their own!

Make them live and bring death after million years,

Strengthen your land, craft out the species of “Humans”

They will work out magic with their very hands,

But you will start to shed, as they destroy your lands

I know what happens next, but for now, this will do

Let this be a secret between me and you”

I wept and wept after the secret was shared,

My prospected world would we despaired

I hung on with the order, created as told,

But as expected, I began to get old,

Humans bringing destruction here and there,

I am bearing the agony, but I am still scared.

Can you imagine all the toil it took?

From the starting Dinosaurs to the humans

It is not an easy game of snakes and ladders,

It made me indulge in huge quantum of power.

I don’t want to urge you with ancient tales

Like “Save Me” or “Make me alive, make me walk”

Do what you wish, terminate me to your heart’s content!

But mark this, you will bring yourself an inevitable, disastrous death.
