I see God in His omniscience
smiling
to see His beloved wayward children
squabbling over existence and self defined boundaries.
For it was His decree that set in his Eternal immutable will
how far the sea should cover the land
and how far the puny pride of man
should dare to question His sovereignty.
Let man realise his impotence against the most insignificant
member of His vast family that sits at His cosmic table daily,
and tremble at the noiseless thunder of applause
praising the just and immutable rule of Him that raises the
miniscule head of the nano-cellular virus above the self-ordained authority of
the youngest bipedal creature who in his beggarly effort shakes the very house
built for him
to his, alas, irrevocable doom!
So let all homo sapiens respect this invisible co-denizen of
this planet and stay a tolerable distance from his immobile clutches or become
the unwilling vehicle of its conquering might!
Ralteite Pa has given me strict instructions on how he wishes his name to be published here. Incognito :) However, I believe I have the freedom to state that this is a departure from the Mizo Writers under 26 feature I've been following over the last few months. Thank you, Pu Ralteite Pa, for your poetic effort of what you call "more prods to sensitize us: drought, fire, environment crisis, universal morbidity."
