Man regards me as I am a king
more precious I am than a diamond ring
and indeed i am the most powerful of all
the world I can drown without any protocol
within me belongs the most fascinating life
yet I am all alone, with no companion or wife
gigantic mysteries and treasures cove within me
nothing is beyond my reach, for every part of the world I can be
I am a mother giving birth to creatures uncountable,
I am a god, having my world the most stable
but, yesterday's twilight shattered me to pieces
it was a nasty young girl's query, neither of my nieces
pearls rolling down her cheeks, she sat here alone
such sparkling and magical pearls to me were not known
silently embracing her I asked the reason for her cry
she didn't broke her mime, for her lips had grown dry
feeling insult to my pride, I portrayed my mights
drowning my boast, she appellate me to true heights
“what strength do you disclose before me??
what great might do you possess??” she put forth
“i am the god of the gods- the creator of life,
people come to me and feel nostalgic
for I am the one who opens their eyes to nature's true magic” I publicized my worth
“you are no god but a devil life taker”, she responded
amazed by her candid and virtue I was at shame and it was the red truth for which she now cried
to her nuisance I replied, “nasty fellow how do you dare to say so??”
Unexpected had now arrived,making me feel so much low
and then she spoke the red truth-
“you flood memories, relationships and separate hands,
you snatch a child's wish and devastate dreams of sand
you leave tears in many innocent eyes
you dumbfound the intelligence of the most wise
you starve people for hunger and leave them in disease
destructing civilizations, you leave us like wandering bees
you take away the hand of a father from a child's head
Oh! ignoramus god, your color is red...”
Hearing words of her distress,
my heart burst out of my chest
her words echoing numerous times in my head, I could no longer rest
ending her prattle she fell on her knees sobbing
hitting the reality, even I couldn't stop my throbbing
feeling helpless,her words had now shook me alone
I realized my sins, for in no other I could find my clone
wiping her tears she headed away from my water's soar
and promised never to revert to my shore
my immortal empire trying to weigh her tear
I shrunk to a drop, drowned by her lyrical fear
never had I felt this shiver and guilt
cause there was no single friendship or relation that I had built
but I still wondered the cause of the little girl's sorrow and grief
breaking walls of my ego, I found myself as the biggest thief
I then saw in my embrace lying the body of her father, mother and a tot
I was the biggest robber, for it was my empire in which her family had been lost.............
