Evolution



I want to retreat at that primitive age
when man was wild.
I want to retreat ten into thousand years
when man was savage.

When the natural phenomena left man in baffle,
I want to return at that age.
When the nature was God
and science was in cradle.

I want to back at that age
when the people adored his every sense.
I want to retreat that period
when the life was not isolated in a fence.

I want those gloomy nights
when everyone moved like shadows.
I want those pitch dark nights,
not the exhibition of dazzling lights.

I want to usher the love
that came about between Adam and eve.
I want to give up cinematic love
which only evolves bubble hope.

I have strong apathy
towards this hypocritic world.
I have long desire for those emotions
which are based on love, kind sympathy.

So I desire a world
where man seeking for food.
Takes every risk of life
and distributes among kindred
