God’s finest creation <br />Man, abused gift <br />Of imagination, <br />In his folly <br />For self annihilation… <br /> <br />He unwittingly <br />Beats the devil <br />At his diabolical game <br />And claims <br />It’s in His Maker’s name… <br /> <br />He let’s all hell loose <br />And pretends ignorance <br />And has the temerity <br />To ask who’s <br />Responsible for this mess… <br /> <br />How does gift of reason <br />Make him superior <br />To the beasts…? <br /> <br />Peace was <br />Never on his mind. <br />A look at the weapons <br />Of destruction, tell <br />All along he was lying. <br /> <br />In his grandiose plans <br />He had not seen <br />He was digging <br />His own grave. <br /> <br />Overcome with remorse <br />On seeing the corpse <br />Of his young child, <br />He shakes his head <br />Everything demands a price… <br /> <br />Has God <br />Turned his back, <br />Like a father <br />Does when his son <br />Goes on a wrong track… <br />For he knows <br />He has to learn <br />From his mistakes…<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arrogance-or-ignorance/
