The biting freeze
The grilling heat
The dazzling sun’s beat
Trees rustling
Their evergreen leaves, like hands seemingly clapping
On their branches birds comfortably nesting
With sonorous pitches ceaselessly and happily singing
Landing aground for some birdie-hopping
The green frog croaking
The agama rhythmically nodding
The lowly cricket chirping
The firefly brightly glowing
Not too generous with its light; occasionally blinking
Under the yellow sun shinning
Out in the wild; the gazelle gracefully grazing
The cheetah with no knowledge of cheating
Nature’s laws only duly obeying
Subject to its force so compelling
With no option other than yielding
Taking the only available path; softly willing
There! Hungrily and creepily lurking
Every twitch and itch notably watching
Each step yet to be taken perfectly calculating
Every atomic molecule patiently energizing
With such power; endlessly intriguing
Right between the tick and tock
Of Mother Nature’s unbeatable clock
Like a flash of lightning
With the blast of a thunder bolting
For its prey it goes launching
Starting off with the running
The chase perfectly commencing
The pursuit duly continuing
After which comes the catch-up and pouncing
Following thru' with the killing
Every bit of flesh roughly tearing
Each bite tastefully savoring
Before the eyes get a chance at twinkling
Another session of perfect hunting
Moments of delightful feeding
Is brought to an easy ending
Countless nutrients deeply nourishing
Every bout of strength replenishing
The very marrow duly refreshing
At the approaching of the beautiful sunset
Whilst the majority now lay to rest
A neighbor arrives from the west
With 'cuffs; every ray of light to arrest
Infiltrating every molecular atom with its spooky fest
Covering air and space in its pitch black vest
Conquering even the great and lofty Everest
Subduing its peak; oh yes! its very crest
Then rises the owl from its nest
Yet again to face the dark test
Flapping, rising, and soaring with such zest
Distinct digestible affiliations identifying a pet meal, not a pest
Clasping its choice pick from the sleepy rest
Speaking of night-vision better than the best
Duly fulfilling its quest
The sole victor in its conquest
Oh! I forgot to introduce to you
The one with whom you have to do
The one I'm not sure whether to praise or to boo
The one I do not know what unto him really is due
'Cos in this picture, a very prominent figure is he too
He comes in the name of peace
But in his hand; a knife slicing piece by piece
Treasure he was meant to tend without halt or cease
Treasure not his, only given him on an indefinite lease
Instead of an appreciation
Rather than an admiration
Of the vast beautification
Of The One behind the entirety of all creation
All he sees is imperfection
All he sees is need for alteration
Ever booming in his mind; a lousy altercation
A forever ongoing opposition
His mind and intellect rising in objection
To the creator's sense of perfection
In his bid for modification
Lost in an ever evolving ball of evolution
The same ball known as civilization
He finds himself in the chamber of balance and distribution
To the locks; he has not the key combination
For the “ne’er-seen-before” machines; He knows nothing of their modes of operation
Accidentally pushing the button for "self-destruction"
Which he mistook for the ignition
He brings the much dreaded slow and steady ruination
Of every continent and nation
Into perfect initiation
Specific species facing extinction
A small minority faced with extermination
The larger majority falling into the pit of gradual eradication
Every living thing breathing in an air of massive decimation
Even his structures are brought down in brick by brick demolition
The Antarctic giving way to depredation
The arctic ice plunging into liquidation
The world now at the verge of extirpation
The universe facing a possible annihilation
All because of the one
I introduced to you earlier on
The one meant to tend
Every wear and tear to mend
Me, myself; even I
MAN!
Borne, one of two possible genders
Whichever, altogether meant to be a builder
Not a horrible destroyer
MAN; the sole author of greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change
