Walking down the sandy beach,
I ran towards the calm sea, so close within my reach,
But as i waded through the serene water,
I was met with the most horrendous of horrors

Floating, non-biodegradable debris
Was tossed into the land and ocean, on a mad spree
With no regard for mother earth and its flora and fauna,
Humans couldn't care less,just litter and relax in their fancy hot saunas

A lightning bolt of righteousness struck me in my mind,
And my path now i had to find,
I picked up the waste, without any haste,
And threw it in the litter bin, whereit rightfully belonged,
But the story isnt over yet, just hold on

Alerting the nearby locals about the conundrem at hand,
I paced away swiftly, as my footwear pounded on the soft sand,
I had done my rightful duty as citizen, have you?
Lets keep the land green and lushy, and the waters blue.

Wiping the sweat off my forehead, as i waded through the mushy forest,
Twigs cracked, hungry pythons snacked, on a juicy and lively treat
An environment some would cherish, while some would detest
But one thing was for sure, this heat was set to be beat

The chirping of insects, the shrill calls of the exotic tropical birds,
A pack of lions chasing a deer herd
The powerful flow of the river, the calmness of the crocodile,
It couldnt beat the river into submission, so it surrendered to its current,
It's sheer adaptibility, left on our faces a wide smile

Leaving the enchanting and lush green forest behind,
All we could do was reminisce and unwind,
At all that we saw and learned,
This was an experience one can only yearn.

Wailing cries echoed through the castle,
As the father placed below all the present parcels,
Under the glistening christmas tree, full of decoration,
To welcome the new life with a grand celebration

Simultaneously, more wailing cries shot out in another corner of our planet,
As the two parents fret,
They all made themselves comfortable in a tiny room, even then, they tried to have a wide smile on their face

As the rich child became an adolescent,
His arrogance and greed saw no descent,
He wanted everything that existed, even if there wasnt any need of it,
On the other hand, the poor boy saved every penny, bit by bit

Time flew by, as they both reached marriagble age,
The poor boy had a great career and job,
While the rich one never worked hard, only turned around his father's shiny door knobs,
The moral is clear, even if you are rich,
Work hard and be humble nevertheless, sew all that needs to be stitched

I was a born a happy child,
With crooked teeth and a cheerful smile,
But as age skipped stones, and i had more flesh and bone,
Life began to be shaded in a unique tone

All around me, individuals loved and cared for the opposite ***,
So did i, but not as much as the same as mine, but alas, the world regarded me as an outcast for it, someone that had been hexed
Individuality was no longer a common trait, you couldn't do as you please,
Regardless, i never changed my choices, my stubbornness was set to freeze

And there was another, that loved both genders with equality,
Live and let live, this term was drowned in humanity's monstrosity
But they did as they saw best fit, life was in their grasp,
They had evolved, and learned to tear off their mask

Next came along more uniqueness, from one gender that had wished to be the other,
But was never supported in their decisions, not even by their father, mother or brother,
In the end, our clarity takes us to our destined landscape, a destined world,
A reigon of self acceptance, from where all judgements escape, and where the universe no longer swirls,
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, yes, we are all of this,
This is our gallop down the prarie, this is our bliss

The engine roared into ignition,
As i put my vehicle in gear,
But alas, the drive to work was all about friction,
And constant wear and tear

Lane driving, what's that?
I've seen more organized behaviour in cats and rats,
Taking a U turn, forget that is possible,
Indian driving isn't logical, nor is it plausible

The big bang theory,
Was the beginning of our stories,
Reshape, segregate,
Over time, it all came to integrate

Revolutions, one celestial body around another,
Never has it happened, that they stuttered,
But we as **** sapiens, cannot even comprehend the flow of constant change,
Only understand it via Dr Strange

We balance, we spend, this limited period,
In the nourishment of our minds, soul and our posterior
Clocks, watches, timers
They are all the just the calculators of the Primer
Time and time again, time is underestimated,
But it is the true measure of a life lived, adequately graded,
Utilize it well, for it only comes but once,
Lets learn from nature, as we all did once.

A grazed knee,
A sprained ankle,
Were not the situations that our young selves could handle

As we grew,
These incidences were few,
But rather than physical, we were subject to exhibit emotional pain,
It wasn't a drizzle, but rather an aching storm, crashing droplets of rain

We couldn't wait to grow up and be adults,
As if it were a perk filled cult,
But the realization hit us, once we did
We could never be children again, that car had already skid, down the wet, hilly road

But the pain made us stronger, made us more,
Unstoppable in nature, so we could roar and soar
Life taught me, to withstand all the pain that i could possisbly experience,
So much so, that pain now was my deliriant.
