Please Leave Them Alone

Post cool breakfast on Moon

A spicy heavy dinner on Mars

I decide to land on Earth 

For a leisurely walk

And what do I hear?

Invader! SOS! Invader!

Friends! Family! Folks!

Look! who is the stranger

Our land stands in danger

Cocooned perhaps in their comfort zone

Their costumes native their ambience pristine

Menfolk advancing with torches and spears

Amuse and engage me in equal measure

Are they left behind in race of progress?

Or they wish to preserve old age charm

Are they naive in their ignorance?

Or wish to be immune from new world's harm

I wish to bring them in the fold

Of racy new world of technology

I wish to share stories of advancement

Conquests of man over nature and ecology

I desist

They are perhaps vital ambassadors

Of man and nature living in harmony

They are tribes though dwindling and few

Whose lives have remained unaffected

From twenty first century's untold agony

The agony of using tech sans restrictions

The blunder of invading cosmos

Unmindful of catastrophic predictions
