FROM FRIVOLITY TO DOOMSDAY

   

We the homosapiens differ from the four legged mammals

The fourteen hundred grams of neurons of the grey matter,

Exceeds by volume and number compared to these animals,

Yet we humans, though wise trail them in many a matter.

Inventions made our lives easy on earth by leaps and bounds,

Travelling by many routes made all of us save many a hour,

Commuting at our fingertips, the world now so small, it sounds,

Yet we sometimes lose our years and life, to save just an hour.

Advances in medicine too took giant leaps in the last century,

 Critical care is the watchword for any ail, in any urgent state,

Accidents take a lion share, at times flooding the mortuary,

Many such are manmade, a few seconds may enforce that state.

The neurons need rest, recoup their glucose, aided by sleep,

The eyelids do suffer the same, oh! worsened by the gravity,

The darkness, silence   all around aid the events in a sweep,

A split second blemish, all in combine adding to the intensity.

Such a mishap did occur recently, a violin maestro succumbed,

The late night drive, the crowded schedule and a lazy triviality,

Failing to keep the falling eyelids up for a  split second indeed,

The crash, rung the death knell for the maestro with intensity.

Two year cute tot was crushed, the baby seat may be insecure,

Yet the precious baby fell prey to the avoidable travel itinerary,

Such accidents do come often, we never introspect but ignore,

We can blame and ruin our life but  child’s safety is a top priority.

Young maestro’s life cut short, the tiny tot never saw the world,

These mishaps do occur, it does reign or rain  here or anywhere

Night drives, that too with tots, never throw caution to the wind,

Never drive to doomsday, for somebody awaits you somewhere.
