We call ourselves Humans

We call ourselves Humans.

Amidst a world where every existing and  arising casualty has human actions as its root cause . Instead of working to rectify our sins, we are all set on a mission to make things worse. Forget serene earth or heavenly bliss, we are living and breathing in a toxicated radioactive dumping ground, with the garbage of our deeds scattered all around.

The recent incident at Malappuram, Kerala ,left me heartbroken, waves of deep sorrow and gushing anger. Mere predators and human monsters. 

The mother elephant was in search of food to feed her baby, and provide herself some strength.

Not to forget the fact that elephants have the longest gestation period of all mammals. Thus after Painful sufferings and a long journey , that mother was about to welcome a new life in this world, but what she didn't know was that the world didn't deserve pure forms like her child. What we humans deserve is toxic garbage, garbage and garbage.

We were taught that Elephants in Hinduism and the Indian Culture are a symbol of intellectual strength. It is a sacred animal and is considered the representation or the living incarnation of Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity. We bow in front of them not just for their godliness, rather these gigantic mammals have all the power to cause ultimate destruction, but yet these wise souls stay calm and maintain peace and harmony, and this stands to be the very reason why we bow in front of them and they ought to be respected. Sadly elephants are on the verge of getting extinct, with only about 25,000 remaining , rather than trying to save these species, here we are committing homicides.

What are we doing, showcasing our wicked wisdom, ugh, it's time to take down the word wise from our dictionaries, its definition, implication, use is all extinct now. Words like purity, kindness, sensitivity, honesty, humbleness,humane, vision, wisdom are no more meant for humans. The new synonyms for humanity are cruelty, fakeness, destruction, hatred,toxic waste, doom, wreckage, burden and whatnot.

No need to wait for a natural apocalypse, we are all going to die  ,hanging ourself with our own ropes of karmas and  deeds.

Why should trees give us oxygen, why should crops give us feed, why should animals give us their milk n meat, or rivers and rains give us water, why should earth give us livelihood, when we are of no validity. We don't deserve this planet and all these amenities. These resources and ecosystems aren't meant for spoiled brats and thorns like us. 

Do we even remember the value system from which we belong, even if mistakenly our feet touches someone, we apologize. We respect and pray to all the natural resources, we have spring and monsoon festivals to celebrate the climate cycle and show our gratitude towards these natural forces, such was our culture, and here we are ,trashing and throwing away all those values and committing homicides, perennial stains on the face of humanity .

Now owing to social distancing, molesting people of our species ,wasn't safe for us, so here we are harassing and abusing beings of other species.

We are mere microbes spread across this planet, all set to destroy and ruin every other living element , like merciless morons and rage monsters.

The fact that humans are the most civilized and intelligent inhabitants of the planet is a meager myth. "Being beasts" is the new slang ! Are those brains and minds of any worth ,if we can't use them to control our thoughts and actions. Who is to be ruled and who is to be caged.

We have passed all the limits of cruelty and coward behaviour. Do we even hold a chance to be forgiven for our ku-karmas ?

Perhaps we lost that privilege long ago.
