When

Were we meant to walk on asphalt ?

Speed in the fast petrol driven cars ?

Fly in aircrafts- clamber towards the moon ?

There is bound to come a day when we have to halt !

Whom shall we blame then ? Who will be at fault ?


The smooth black velvet sky like a canopy, shield

Glimmering wondrous stars , the silver moon

Why wren't we content and enjoyed these wonders ?

Given by The One above as a lasting boon

We must someday perish maybe a decade too soon !
