Water to ice as snow <br />Snow to glaciers <br />O Lord! You made these <br />As peaks <br />Of your benevolence <br /> <br />You called in the sun, <br />Melted them to run down <br />To plateaus and plains <br />To provide life water <br />To all we beings; <br /> <br />We took as much we wished <br />As much we could take <br />The rest you let go down <br />Into oceans you made <br /> <br />How much water flown in? <br />Into the seas ages since <br />Oceans remain unmoved <br />Indifferent them you made? <br /> <br />You made icebergs; yes, <br />As peaks of your belligerence! <br />You sunk men’s titanic builds <br />You called in not, the sun! <br /> <br />We know not how many sharks <br />You have blown off down the waves <br />That combated your icebergs <br />You built upon your grace! <br /> <br />We know not why you hesitate <br />To raise icebergs on these shores <br />To annihilate those sharks <br />Underworld, you continue to create!<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-know-not-why/
