Rekha Mandagere - Save Life

Poisoned arrows
Lethal weapons
Nuclear explosives
Harmful bacteria
Dreadful diseases
Wild beasts of nature
Infra, ultra radiation
Whirlpools, gigantic whales and sharks
Forest fire, the wild dance of Tsunami
By instinct we perceive all this as curse to humanity
And at once turn ourselves from its cruel vicinity

But why do we become hapless victims to-
The cruel looks of so called relatives
Deceiving husbands
Faithless wives
Villainous friends
Murderous mother of Hamlet
Jealousy daughters of Lear
Selfish children
Corrupt officials
Killing doctors
Unlawful judges
Immoral teachers
Rotten politics
Like chemical bonds encircling our precious lives
Disintegrating mental ability, each smiles
No doubt, they shamelessly swallow humanity
Oh mother earth, save life from its banal cruelty!
