"Fire of Desire"
Sometimes raises the question in my mind,
The question makes me think,
A human philosophy, I find.
There are billions of creatures in nature
This world is for every creature.
But people think of themselves
As the best creatures.
They want to rule the world
As they have knowledge bold.
They kill people as human beings
They make new weapons
All the year, all the seasons.
The mountain of desire
Is created in the mind of man
Created by God
Oh Lord...Oh Lord.
Destroys thousands of species
Treats the earth as a source of enjoyment
And spread dangerous disease.
If we gaze with a blink
Products that make women think. Thinking of objects of enjoyment
Makes sex dependent films
Only for their marryment .
They burn in the fire of desire
And dies
Sometimes the question arises...
When will this desire of the people end
Can you answer my dearest friend ?
Or I've to go back to human society
To find out a concrete philosophy.
Finally an old woman
A dying old woman...
I asked her the question.
The old woman took a handful of ashes
In her shaky hand
And said,
"Only when people are burnt to ashes
In crematoriums
Or lay inside graves
Can the fire of desire be extinguished ...
It's certain and sure
Never before.
