“The Moment of Truth…Please Don’t Go”
Suddenly a bizarre feeling came across our hearts; all the four seasons overlapped each on other’s, it was a strange Feeling of suffocation. The beautiful lovely spring we used to enjoy, unexpectedly became dull, cold and gloomy. All fancy flowers, jasmine; orchids start to die out and disappear. The sounds of beautiful birds sadly vanished deep inside the clouds. All small cute fancy colored leaves fell over and everywhere between storms and winds.
With painful feeling inside my heart, I stand alone Looking at spring season packing up all its beautiful and sparking fantastic weather full of rainbow colors, rains, flowers, birds and trees, disappearing away with sadness in their eyes, leaving us behind. With painful feeling inside my heart, I stand alone looking at people faces how they become dull, full of stress and anger like they were carrying a big mountain of problems & difficulties on top of their heads. With plenty of hope I asked the spring season, my friend why did you leave us early this year? Ahhhh after long sad breath and tears, spring season decided to answer me hoping that I will learn something out of it. He said, my friend I didn’t leave you early, but you people can’t see that I exist; you people destroyed the power of life inside me. Today people are full time busy, from early morning when they wake up till midnight when they go to sleep. They are always in rush. The environment is not suitable to live in any more, the society became so crowded, traffic everywhere in the street, in the train stations, and in supermarkets, waiting behind long queues for hours to pay bills. People have no patience anymore, damaged roads everywhere, construction of new buildings where you can’t find car parking, and noise everywhere in today’s society.
TMs with full of sadness and anger spring answers; for god sake, Where are the nests inhabited by the birds in your country have gone? Where is the healthy soil and free lands where flowers, grass and trees can grow freely? Where is the clean air that all people, animals and planed can breathe freely with no toxins in it? People are fully busy in the hustle & bustle of life. My friend! People’s feelings start to die slowly over time, and in consequence of that, the percentage of criminals increased, health deterioration increased, child abuse increased, woman get raped often, meaningless wars and killing each other has become like a funny game.
My friend today people don’t have time for themselves and their families how will they have time for me!! I was kept aside for quite a long period of time. Spring paused for a moment and with tears in his eyes he said. Today people can no longer hear the beautiful songs of birds. No more they can see the attractive fancy colors of rainbow. No more they can scent the smell of flowers. No more they can enjoy the golden sand in the beach. People have no time to enjoy the sound of the rain dripping off onto their house callings and windows glass... plinks... drip... plink... finally splashed away with beautiful warm sunny day.
