Nature eclipsed by arrogance
Like an exhibit behind a toughened glass
Presented as a special treat for the visitors
Still! It does not breathe but stares helplessly
Nature feels the abandonment
The sighs storm through the silence
Brush stroked happiness is not good enough
Only the molds appear to devour it
Painted happiness steals reality
Survives in storytelling-
The fields, blooms, and skies
All captured, but not captivating
Demonstrated foolishness
Aggrandised euphoria of power
Disclose the details of devolution
Fooling nature and bending the truth
Undignified arrogance submerges
Reality will be resurrected in dreams
Dawn will outshine the aberrations
