  REAPING THE CONSEQUENCE

I am suffering for what I have done
I will suffer for what I am doing right now
That is how life moves on 
That is the law from which 
There is no exception.

If I seek an answer.
To my present condition 
The caprices of nature 
I have to go back to the palaeolithic age
Where I was roaming in the forest 
Under the sun, shower and blue sky 
Sharing my smile and tears, love and hatred
With plants, animals and nature 

I have to go back to the time
When I was so helpless amidst 
Mighty animals and unpredictable nature 
I was coexisting with plants and animals
Sharing my moments with them and 
Was at the feet of nature, worshipping and
Adoring her  as my lone saviour 
I have to go back to the days
When I started manipulating the environment 
To have an edge over others 
I grew and developed at their cost
But never cared for them 
Never carried them with me all along 

I went on manipulating
Nature, natural resources and
Become the boss of the world 
For me, nothing but my own happiness mattered
I used and exploited plants, animals and nature 
For my own satisfaction. 
And forgot that the world is as much theirs
As it is mine
I forgot those with whom I once shared the World, my moments of ecstasy and frustration 
And considered them as prey to my
Unquenched thirst and hunger
The gap between me and them increased
Further and further to a point no reconciliation 
When I considered myself to be the God
The maker of their destiny
The existence of whom depends upon 
My will and mercy.

After years of exploitation and subjugation
When they react
I call it ferocity of nature
I have set standards of my own
Which is not the same for all
I am not prepared to accept
Whatever the situation today
Is due to the imbalance 
Resulted out of my own greed, 
Undoings and selfishness 
My deaf and dumb friends ( I have made them so) Do not know
How to communicate with an inhuman being 
They silently suffer, occasionally react
But when they react, they react violently 
And I have to bear it, its wrath and ferocity.
For every action, there is a reaction 
Which I have to silently bear.
