Forgive us! Oh Mighty Creatures

TSK. Raman

 

Oh! mighty creatures all of you, the ants, the birds, the cats, the dogs, the flies, the mice, we took away your space, without asking you.

You moved and sought alternatives. Some of you were lucky to become domesticated, while most of you others were left to fend for yourselves, and if ever you made an appreance, people ensure they finish you once and for all, if they can't drive you away. People do what they are known to do, and you too do what you are known to do and that it to keep coming along. This tussle goes on day-in and day-out, everywhere on this planet, but it must be given to you, you creatures have an admirable quality, in grained in your genes, and that it to 'fight' it out.

Anyway, we really admire your 'spirit.' You found alternatives and accommodated yourselves within the same space, withoout ever a protest nor revolt. It really seems, to me that you all knew your higher purpose, whereas we human beings, with our 'bloated' ego's never found ours.

We dominated the scene ever since, the mighty among us conquered space, and ruled over the weak for years and for centuries all over the world

Some who woke up fought for their rights and became independent, while we know that several others are still struggling, and we really couldn't care, for we reconcile ourselves helplessly to say, it's not our problem, it's purely theirs

Some among us turned geniuses and showed us the way to tap the resources for us to make our lives, and made an indelible impression on mankind. We have even gone outside our planet to show what mankind can do.

Many chose to carry on their lives with the 'gifts' they got and began to lead a life of peace and love, but, some unfortunately fell by the way.

We sowed the seeds of differences in all conceivable forms - color, caste, geography, language, religion and what not, as means to achieve our ends, but now I am afraid, are we nearing our end.

For those affordable and those in power, accumulation, cheating, corruption - mental, moral, physical, greed, hoarding, lies, subjugation, suppression, withholding, though even they know it's a shame, all of of this seem to have become the norms of this day, but for many a few this is not the same, however there are hounds out there waiting to exploit their weakness to live your dreams and to secure a place under the sun. These people feel they have a lot to say, but they do not know who will listen to them, for they also know that they have many other challenges that they have to stave away each day to keep their ships afloat. There is so much of evil all around and these people are innocent victims of it all for they form the mass. For those who commit crimes, and sins, are never brought to book and those who help them are never made accountable. The gap is widening ever so fast, but does anyone who matters care.

There may be some if not all. Such people still seem to care, for every thing around them too, with a Prayer that all this will end some day and sanity will be restored. The sun still rises in the morning and sets in the evening, and for all those hopeful, they live with this hope still alive, whereas for the others, it's another day in the office. Amidst all this is one more Prayer Oh! Please create the the ants, the birds, the cats, the dogs, the mice, with in built cameras in their eyes and unlimited storage in their mental systems, so that they can provide us all the hard proofs we seek to bring crime to book, as most get away as those who want to defend the law do not get much evidence to produce and seek justice. Unfortunate though some clever people will wipe away even concrete evidences by twisting it or destroying it forever. It's here that all those living creatures can give us evidences a plenty.

Forgive us once again for all our wrongs doings, but help us live like you do.
