Balance

Dr Pritish Chowdhury

Narrative
A river changes its course,
It destroys one side,  builds the other side,

The flesh eaters  of jungles too know
The rate at which they kill animals
For their hungers!

Mother Earth knows how much  ice she would melt not to make her
A sinking Titanic!

Balance does breathe
At the hands of nature!


And just opposite it is
At our hands, the humans !

About this poem
