“When all hills are staked with barbs, when all rivers bleed dry, when the last whippoorwill’s cry fades into oblivion, what good will your money be then?”
Chief Seattle, Adaptation
A little child born today,
In peace and harmony, expects to wake.
But growing up can be a big mistake.
As he is unaware of what the world holds
distruction, violence, and many more.
Love is desire and brotherhood is need.
But all he ever meets is bloodshed and deadly beasts.
Oh! what a sin to hope for a peaceful life, in a planet that is already dying.
“Being a better human" had-long ago, died.
But next time, at least think about the little child.
