Once I saw through the black hole
It was like Alice to Wonderland
There were many beautiful gardens
Like made by a magic wand
There were many large fields
Not of soil, but of sand
There were many stunning statues
Like made by a skilful hand
Written on a rock, there was
A message for us to understand
"This is not a world for you
It is 'our' only demand!"
And I stood there, wondering aloud
Why on us, that paradise was banned
A sound ripped across the sky
Explaining the reason of 'their' stand
"Humans are but a virus", it said
"Who, destroying everything, always expand.
The mother Earth is a victim, a prey
Of your foolish acts, evil and grand.
Owing to your demonic works
Its pretty face has been tanned.
With pollution and toxic wastes,
You burnt the nature, offhand.
You are not welcome here, O man!
For you will ruin its every strand!"
