Mellow out of tedious jobs,
humans rushed towards nature,
hasty, built artificial structures throughout the year,
awakening his self-centred consciousness on a sabbatical.
He sensed the essence of nature when intimate with the natural world,
but his misdeeds tortured nature.
Nature is the ripple or waves on the water’s surface,
and humans, like a bumblebee,
rattled on those little waves of movements.
Oblivious to its breach,
Humans brought agitation to nature’s odyssey.
It’s like a bumblebee† whose wing span’s too tiny but whose body is too heavy,
Humans, too arduous to fly,
using nature as a barque.
Instead of recognising their place within nature’s dominion,
humans have left their mark on its territories,
a stark reminder of their impact.
Humans come into being to get liberated,
to raise their consciousness,
yet their mind tendencies let it linger with the natural world to populate and impure it.
A bumblebee never knows of its natural disposition;
it could have been crucial for the pollination of flowers and plants,
albeit behaved like a deer’s thirst* for water.
Primed to accomplish its yearnings,
assume it as the ‘culture’ of the society—a shared experience,
like ceremonies, customs, myths, traditions, etc.
Wandering through the natural world with a voracious appetite,
humans have turned their consumption into a byproduct of their meddling,
leading to the exploitation of nature.
Human culture emerges by controlling every inch of the environment,
and progress economically but disinclined ecologically.
Our actions have turned this delicate balance of nature into a machine,
churning out more and more ‘bumblebees’,
worsening the climate with each turn.
Devoid of evidence of expanding intelligence in homo sapiens with time,
as mentioned by Noah^,
yet practise transforming its life for subjugating plants and animals.
But there is hope,
If we can shift our consciousness,
we can progress with a deeper understanding of our place in the natural world,
believed Darwin¬.
Defining laws of nature to put universal congruity,
obeying ‘The First law of nature’ — Self-preservation,
eventually turns into nature’s destruction.
A bumblebee who plonks over the waves of the ocean,
dissolves itself as an outlander of nature that it certainly was and will be,
degraded nature with a false desire.
Have the boldness to flatter a patriarchal seasoning over nature entrée,
whilst proving the seer potency of being an outsider in the natural world constantly.
Living a hassle over the natural world,
humans misjudged its accomplishments as sapiens,
manifested as a scapegoat in this existence.
It’s time to find our way back to harmony with nature,
to undo the oppression humans have created.
Let its significant evolution to a colossal holocaust of the genocide of self;
a self-absorbing bumblebee who would not suffice an achiever of pollinating camaraderie with nature.

*Deer’s thirst: Running for water was a mirage of water in a desert. It disappears as soon as it reaches near it. Humans run after their desires.
