My Newest Obsession, Man Versus Nature
Jubaraj J. Baruah |
The fisherman with his fishing tools
Wrapped himself in thick wool
The Fishing net, then he spreads
Catches the fishes and bags the money he gets
His obsession fishing; his need fishes
Nature has so far never deceived him
Though by sight he may look thin and trim
Nature has never betrayed him
It has rewarded him with the ponds, seas, lakes and rivers
In fact it has bestowed on him the whales to work as a team
The peasants with their ploughs and bullock carts
Mended all of them full of dirt
He works all day long
Never he agonizes or finds anything in his job wrong
Peasantry his obsession, the fields his school
The paddy fields over which he rules.
Nature has so far never deceived him
Never has it betrayed him
He has given him crops and rain
Given him enough land to make profitable gain
Has helped him the best way he could
Though through floods and famine sometimes has turned rude
The scientists, the physician and the engineers
The merchants, the rulers and their queens
Nature has gifted them all
Whatever may be the profession small or big, short or tall?
The masses want to live lives to their fullest
And want to live with the amenities best
Life their obsession, luxuries their need
Nature has so far never deceived him
The adversities of nature very meager and thin
But man has himself betrayed his self
Only thinking about religion, region, his power and pelf
Terrorizing all sections of people
Creating havoc as the water creates ripples
And so today I make my every step inch by inch
Searching for the safest place
Searching for the most secured shelter
This treasure hunt my newest obsession
And may become my next profession.
