Air kindles fire
The same air puts of the flame!
Water gives life
The same water destroys life!
Earth provides the place to live
The same earth swallows thousand lives!
Man builds the world
The same man destroys it cold!
Flowers waft sweet scents
The same fragrant flower later stinks!
Electric power rotates fast the fan
The same power kills by shock kills the man!
Waves caress our feet gently
The same waves consume lakhs fiercely!
Penetrating paradoxes
Unpredictable occurances
Sure beyond the man's control
Gift of God and the whip of nemesis!
