Human are supreme beings,
Said my mind
Are they really supreme?
I asked my heart
No, it replied,
They are the viruses
Born to pollute this Earth
Why, I asked
Because they discriminate
Other species a lot
Riding on the back of their tyranny
How, I asked again
Well, if the dog bites them
They call it mad
But if they bite the dog
They call it a self-defense
Earth is passing through the most crucial phase of its existence. The fragile ecological system is deteriorating with every increase in the man made contamination. Many problems confront us and we are running sort of the solutions. Let us not forget that we were created by God to prevail harmony in the Earth. Let us live without destroying the habitat of other species because Earth is not the sole property of mankind. Like us, God has created other species with purpose.
What a blessed creature, we are
Unlike any creature that lived before
We have become a geographical force
Swiftly changing the atmosphere
By the dynamism of our contraption
What a blessed creature, we are
We swim like the fishes in the river
We fly like the birds in the sky
We run faster than the cheetah in the land
We visit the moon and descend swiftly down
But… What an evil creature, we are
For our survival, we have contaminated our own soul
And in relentless search for more food and shelter
We are brutally raping the Mother Earth
Ceaselessly, beneath the domicile of the Heaven
To fulfill the ravenous desire of our egocentric heart

The TRUTH hurts!
But it rarely awakens the corrupted soul.

PERFECTION BEYOND FURTHER DESCRIPTION BHUWAN!!!!
You are so correct and dead on with this one. If only everyone in the world could REALLY SEE this exceptional beyond compare piece. We do not own this planet we live on called earth; we are its caretakers, and you are sooooo correct my friend "what an evil (caretaker) creature we are"!!!!

Can't live with mankind....and we can't live without them. In many instances mankind creates something outstanding and then it backfires causing more damage then good! Your concerns are shared by many my friend. Great write!!

Bhuwan, you are so right, and I agree with your superb write! However, the world will never cease progress until it is forced to and by that time it will be too late. Greed and power from corporations on down to those who don't care about anything but faster cars,and more of all the things that degrade our environment.I'm guilty too, I like my Air Conditioning and refrigeration,
both of which they say is causing the ozone problem. So, what do we do? Wish there were an answer.;-)
you speak true words even if harsh to hear.. but by passing on this enlightment to even one person who is unaware... may be the saving of the world... keep speaking poet... I hear you
This is an excellent portrayal of our status, Bhuwan, yet it emphasizes an "Evil Creature" in humanity without, it seems to me, addressing the real culprit. I think man is not evil, just ignorant of what unbridled propagation has done/is doing/will do to our environment. Is there any doubt that you would not be called upon to write this beautiful poem if the population of man were say, at twenty percent of its current state and were stable? I think we would be writing of happier circumstances.

Mankind has a balance like every other energy. When the positive and the negative become balanced the beauty of what mankind is will be seen. Never give up hope.
Mankind is the only species that spits on the water they drink... mankind is the only species that kills not for eating... mankind is the only species that cuts the tree which gives them shadow... and thus mankind is condemning itself to death. Striking write, my admired friend, touching my spirit to the very core.

Human being is an ultimate evil. Very truly said Bhuwan. Great, an eye opener poem.
The deep-dive literary meditations presented as stories, poems, and essays in The American Poet Who Went Home Again, A Mosaic of My Soul at Work, have captivated and inspired readers ever since its first paperback publication in 2008.
But it rarely awakens the corrupted soul.
