Weather's Tale

Bikal Acharya

Weather! Weather!
How grey and dull
With no love and affection
Crying all the time
Perhaps talking about us. 

It may be saying that
Wake up, wake up
For the sake of everyone
Have more patience and understanding
Don't think of yourself and not only for yourself. 

It may have been witnessing
All human race of the beginning
Just asking what has been achieved so far
Only sorrow and pain, unhappy and vain
Minds are crumbling, faiths are disappearing. 

It may have been talking about 
Human's achievement from ages
Nothing else apart from war and selfishness
Peace has lost its meaning for a long time
Happiness is beyond reach for everyone for now.

It may have been saddened 
Looking history from all the time
Every page of history belongs to bloodshed
Wherever, whenever, war is brutal reality 
Human have achieved absolutely nothing, nothing.

It may have been urging 
Everyone to think for each other
Telling to all that everyone is equal
No one should be in suffering and pain
Love and caring are human's jewelry. 

It may have been warning that 
Human civilization is in the edge 
If each of us don't do our parts
The end is inevitable and soon 
There will be no time to regret. 

It may have been reminding that
Everyone is only guest here for a short time
Death is the ultimate truth
Abandon greed, everything is left behind
When you are gone for good.

The weather is crying here
Sometime banging its head in thunder
Shows its anger in flood 
And indeed sometime freezing in snow
Feeling that all its message are ignored.

So
The weather is in bad mood 
It is representing all untold story of mankind
It's always telling us 
Whether anyone listening or not 
It is telling all the time about humanity
But it seems that it is frequently unhappy
Like today, I am just listening, just listening.
