 Cover Photo by Manohar Koviri Did you ever stay awake at night and feel your chest tightening while anxiety is slowly swallowing your sanity, observing humans exploit our world? Does it bother you that we ignore its well being and continue exploiting it until our beautiful habitat becomes horrifying to live on anymore? Sometimes at night When the world is fast asleep I lay awake while my anxiety speaks to me “Boundaries! Boundaries! Boundaries!” My anxiety speaks to me! Why do we have Boundaries? Why do we have walls? Why fight wars to defend these man-made Boundaries? “Peace! Peace! Peace!” My anxiety speaks to me! Why do we have peace workers? Why do we have peace awards? Why do we have peace symbols but not peace? “Trivial! Trivial! Trivial!” My anxiety speaks to me! Why seek world peace? Why fight world hunger? Why discuss Global warming? To save humankind? Why save humankind? “Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!” My anxiety speaks to me! Humans destroyed multiple species, Tigers, cranes, gorillas, marine life Too many species on the brink of extinction So millions of humans could live in luxury? “Time! Time! Time!” My anxiety speaks to me! Turn back the time The time before Humans Chirping birds, dancing deers, roaring tigers and jumping dolphins A world without humans, a world without boundaries What a peaceful world it is!
