Oh Plant, I am defeated, <br />Defeated to you, <br />Me Human. <br /> <br />When I look at you, <br />I find myself <br />so small! so mean! so selfish! <br /> <br />Your life and that of mine <br />When I compare, I see <br />The contrast of Good and Evil. <br /> <br />You are the God, I believe <br />And I ask myself <br />Am I not the Devil? <br /> <br />Oh Plant, I am defeated, <br />Defeated to you <br />Me Human. <br /> <br />You give us breath to live <br />And food to eat and grow. <br />Give us rain, relief from pain <br />in our sufferings and woe. <br /> <br />Oh Plant, I am defeated <br />Defeated to you <br />Me Human. <br /> <br />Glaring at me <br />I feel shame to thee <br />I've nothing to give. <br /> <br />I'm a thief, I am a Demon <br />I put off your life <br />I live on your flesh. <br />Yet I cut off your throat <br />build castles with your bones. <br /> <br />Oh Plant, I am defeated <br />Defeated to you <br />Me Human. <br /> <br />My civilization of motion <br />My search into the space. <br />Also fueled by you <br />Your ancestors' remains. <br /> <br />So I hide my pride <br />Oh Plant, on shame <br />I'm defeated to thee. <br /> <br />I beg for your mercy <br />I am Worthless Human. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Palas Kumar Ray.All rights reserved. <br /><br />Palas Kumar Ray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/defeated-6/
