As indications show
Sooner or later
But in near future
The unending line of tanks and machine guns
The swift- flying line of aerial weapons
The floating vast marines with deadly weapons
Altogether have started running their courses
The Earth is going to be a vast ashtray
The ashtray is in the making,
The black clouds of rising smoke are the proof
Directors are well-equipped with their explosives
They take pride in their super power
They also possess a surname ‘ egoist ‘
Egoists never bend but stand smiling
With extreme confidence in their power
With least hope of losing.

Death follows birth
Is a tested truth
And a glaring, universal example
Millions of years ago
The Earth shot out from the burning sun
With none to welcome the great event
It cooled and turned an ashtray that time
That was long, long ago
So the Earth has reached the final stage
What we people do more or less in hundred years
The Earth is perhaps too old
Our death is another name for its annihilation
And reconstruction will follow as follows our rebirth.

Agencies and agents have taken their stand
One and the same color does not suffice mankind
The green Earth has been green all the time
People ‘s eyes are tired looking at the same color
Change of everything including man is natural
Man is very much adept in changing color
At the time of the Earth’s origin
There was none to witness ; none to rejoice
It was perhaps as dark as the human mind is today
Darkening has started in a big area between two nations
And is spreading , and is likely to go faster and vaster
The Earth is going to shoot out from no where this time
But it will be as dark as it was millions years back
Like an ashtray with a few witnesses this time
May be on Venus or Mars
But witnesses also do not last for ever
The Earth will go cooling very slowly , taking years and years
And after many centuries, with congenial atmosphere
some greeneries will shoot out from the ashes first
Followed by unknown kinds of species
May be quite different from man ,animals and birds.
