The Promises

Has it ever happened -
That on a moonlit night,
The stars have told the moon,
That we do not love you?
We'll leave you here and go?
They stayed beside it due to their promise,
The promise of twinkling.

Has it ever happened -
That in a blossoming garden,
The leaves have told a flower,
That you dominate us?
We'll like to be independent?
They keep on sprouting due to their promise,
The promise of beautifying.

Has it ever happened -
That on a rainy day,
The drops have told the cloud,
That we do not like to fall?
We 'll like to rise high?
They keep on dropping due to their promise,
The promise of watering the nature.

Has it ever happened -
That on a sunny day,
The rays have told the sun,
That we do not like to glare?
We'll like to go cold throughout?
They keep on glaring due to their promise,
The promise of brightening the world.

Then why has it happened -
That man has told his fellow beings,
I don't love you all,
I like to be unchained,
I like to rise high,
I like to be cold to human existence,
And I want you all to go away.

Then why has it happened -
That he has left the world alone in despair,
To struggle with the remnants?
That they have been thrown into bins of disasters,
To bear this man's ruthlessness?
That he has forgotten his promise,
The promise of HUMANITY.
