Earth’s upkeep

Mother Earth is a hive for everyone living in it.



Every creature big and small from earth worms to falcons, frogs to monkeys, amoebas to elephants are dependant on the planet for their every needs and exist in an ecological give and take framework making the planet a hub of bio-diversity and a big housing scheme for life in the planet at large. It’s also same with man who as a being with the highest sense of cognition living on the planet is finding himself alienated to nature lately and without the right information at hand like in the movie the “Book of Eli” he would not be much different from the animal kingdom; in the sense of truth, he would remain as an animal that knows a language. Man’s exploits have recently changed its likes from being a contributor to the eco system to that of a butcher with his metro lifestyle, who for his personal interests has only given one option of euthanasia to the planet. Man’s desire has scaled upto conquering moon and the mars and owning luxury of every kind lately and everyman who lives in a democracy is entitled to the plunder of nature without mercy to it and us. In the days of yore when King’s established laws there was a curb on the use of natural resources and man’s unending desires and wants where kept at bay from misusing nature’s bounty. In the years of modernity and democracy I urge the Kings to write resignation letters to legislators on a lighter note thereby enlightening them with duties that ought to be double checked in making of a strong nation.

If man’s desire was to be routed to the creation of a new eco system how beautiful that would be? An age where man contributes to nature rather than looting and plundering it and where he lives under the authority of truth. A place where his dreams are of social responsibilities than of making money through all mediums where he envisions living in his village or town rather than just in his home whose upkeep only he is interested in. Now he can built a canvas from nature through farming and other allied activities and abstaining from adulterated products, contributing to his town by making his surroundings beautiful rather than just his home and family and giving children to the society as partaker in its activities rather than keeping them hostages to homes and thereby making them blind to the society.

The exploits of man has become a blind pursuit of earning and owning land, gold and big investments irrespective of any differences thereby contributing none to his eco system and being a part of a system that exploits nature to the core that it questions the basics of our sustainance in the planet. Man’s disregard to ecology has caused the dwindling of eco system and its not long when earth becomes barren like a scary alien Hollywood movie where man might survive with his heightened consciousness but what would end is an era of animals, birds and plants for whom the earth belongs as much as us. Its time to cast away our Barbie doll lives and live in the lap of nature than in the lap of our egos and wants, like citizens of a responsible earth and not as models shown in the promotion of products. We with our pursuit of life is selfishly try to build a home where we can contribute to the planet and build an eco system of nature around us by the contribution of all responsible people on the planet and imposing new laws to the less responsible.

There was a time in my childhood where I had a good time with nature in my village and wherever I looked I remember seeing a lot of farmlands and grasslands; all those properties are now occupied by thickly packed homes amidst a never ending turmoil of unplanned roads that leads us to nowhere but which is in the route to a never ending development to connect the country where politicians believe the nation is in the roads and that is true to an extent. It is true that this nation is a dead hive of making at the hands of its lawmakers and citizens and at this moment we as responsible citizens partaking in a society need a heightened sense of responsibility to straighten up things not for the coming generations but to act like men what is right to this situation even if it is inviting pain.
