Benevolent


Benevolent
--------------

Mother nature
provides in abundance
for her children to feed
unabashedly they perform C-sections
to satiate their greed.

She is hacked  to death every day, every minute
like a golden goose
her sons and daughters make merry
forgetting they are tightening themselves
their own noose.

Yet being a mother, she does not tweet
reserving  them a berth
for ancestors to meet 
and offers her body for carving  out
a place measuring, six by two feet.

    Each word is valuable while we judge and feel it by love. Words promote law of love in humanity. Morning breeze motivates mind through calm words of nature. At this time we feel natural love. This poem is definitely very interesting and excellent poem.
