Isn't It Our Earth

By Biswajit Patra

Look mother, a magic present! 
World full of technology, 
Now the machines controls me,
I don't control the machines! 

I evolved everything virtual,
Come on, it's twenty fifties! 
But, I couldn't your minty breezes 
nor could your mountains and trees.

You conveyed through your droughts and floods,
That wasn't your mistake mother
I didn't take your annoyance
but, destroyed your trust and candour.

I enjoyed your lake waters
but, couldn't feel your teary storms! 
And, this is my guilt mother,
You are just like the other moms! 

I enjoyed your chirruping birds,
And, also the buzzing bees 
but , I only listened the echoes, 
Not to your dire screams. 

I rose in every norms, 
Made this, that and what not!
but, couldn't make your love and liking,
And, grievingly accept my fault.

Now, I perceive everything,
And, about you, I do bother
Though it is impossible
but, please turn back to me mother!
