The place called Earth
Was once home to none.
We came–
Some say,
From microbes and mucks,
Others, by a divine purpose–
Created and destroyed
What we like and despise.
The cycle repeats
And we perish
Ere the will to live wearies
And hope disperses.
____Muhammad Shahab
A a poem of existential angst. Anand Bose from Kerala.
