My every morning ritual consists of reading newspapers from 4 different countries. Dont ask me why. This morning I woke up and sadly, as usual the front page news was terrorism, followed by gun shootings, violence and natural calamities. Somewhere in the midst of all that, was a video of a jellyfish floating in deep waters, with commentary in the background from scientists offering their expert analysis on why the fish emits bright light. Could it be for mating purposes or to ward off prey? And I thought to myself, why can't we just let it be? Respect his/her privacy and set them free. Just have faith that the jellyfish wont do us any harm and leave it alone. But we as humans are incapable of trusting each other, and the jellyfish belongs to a completely different species, so I don't know , why that thought even crossed my mind.
Humans mistrust,
Humans have no faith,
They believe in religion,
But after violence they lust!
Where freedom is a sin,
And war is right,
Humans can only be measured,
By the greed in their sight!
With the joys of simple pleasures,
Lost somewhere in the sands of time,
My pen is my sword, the ink my blood,
Punish me, if writing this is a crime.
Not every deed has to be measured,
Not all waters are holy, to be revered.
For all humans living under the sun,
I have a very sincere question.
Cant a jellyfish just light up for fun?
Everything isn't always selfish motivation!
