We are in a denial <br />of our animal instincts <br />A Cloak of civilisation <br />Over the savage core <br /> <br />Reminded of the beast within <br />As it goes on a rampage <br />And leaves behind death and carnage <br />You asked how to chain the devil <br />How to mitigate the peril <br /> <br />Some said religion <br />They used it as a weapon <br />Some said philosophy <br />They made their own <br />Some said brotherhood <br />They left you disowned <br /> <br />In the larger scheme of nature <br />Life is an inconsequential probability <br />We would all be here <br />The actors in the system <br />Angels and demons playing our part <br />Forcing one other to reach the equilibrium <br />Peaceful if it is, thrive will we <br />In the other eventuality <br />Perish shall we <br />Nature would remain stone-faced <br />Looking at the probabilities <br />As they happen all over again <br /> <br />By: Samba<br /><br />Samba Siva Patnaik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stone-faced-2/
