First there was a lightening dazing the eye <br />Next came a thunder threatening <br />With fear the earth skipped a spin <br />Merry skies laughed maliciously <br />And sent down a cold rain <br />‘Thanks, many thanks’ <br />The earth mumbled <br />With a simper shyly <br /> <br />Amused, I asked the earth, <br />“Aren’t you both good friends? <br />Between you it must be quid pro quo <br />Why this misplaced gratitude you show? ” <br /> <br />Earth whispered, “He’s my friend! Yes friend! ! <br />But he wants always to have an upper hand <br />Don’t you see? He is up there above me! ! <br />He is a phenomenon of vicious vicissitudes <br />When in bad mood, me he can flood <br />Or can submerge in the oceans <br />Hence I can’t act otherwise, but subdued” <br /> <br />Aha! Now I know when they all did start <br />Politics, oppression and exploitation <br />They’re very well there in the nature, <br />From where the man did learn <br />The spirit of every vile phenomenon<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maya-11/
