As coronavirus spreads… my take on the world.



TAKE CARE
Remember that you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of your family.


As coronavirus spreads… my take on the world.
Then it was the turn of Dinosaurs,
Now it is the time of the Homo sapiens…
Much has happened since the Mesozoic Era,
Those gigantic reptiles have vanished,
After they wrecked the then world.
Thereafter the fearless Homo sapiens emerged,
From four-legged creatures,
To two-legged mighty hunters,
And warriors,
And great explorers,
Who conquered,
All obstacles,
To spread and live,
All over the world.
They killed animals,
And learnt to cultivate,
For food and trade,
They invented languages,
To communicate effectively,
They fought and killed,
Amongst themselves,
For supremacy,
For love and land,
And in the name of religion,
And some to become rulers,
Of provinces.
They developed education,
Learning of literature,
Science, medicine,
Maths, engineering,
And countless subjects,
And then they began inventing,
From simple contraptions,
And medicines,
To great technological wonders,
And wonder drugs,
For their convenience,
To make their life comfortable.
Ultimately,
In this process,
Today they have,
Become irresponsible,
And wayward,
They fight amongst themselves,
More than ever,
With mighty,
And dangerous weaponry.
Oxygen and rain giving,
Forests are getting rapidly depleted,
Land and Sea are getting polluted,
With trash and chemicals,
And the fallout of industrial waste,
And vehicular emissions,
And added to this,
Despite the great medical advances,
Cancer and diseases in different forms,
And viruses of different types,
Are emerging as epidemics,
With no treatment insight.
I wonder,
Whether the fate of the dinosaurs,
Which wrecked the world in the past,
Is destined for the Homo sapiens,
In the very near future,
If no massive corrective action is taken,
By a wise and united world.
