Title -"A Rhyme of Destruction.-If you could un-invent something, what would it be?"
(Us only. If I had the power like the all mighty God in my hands to un-invent something that would surely only be Homo sapiens evolution.We have eroded the very foundation of nature & quality of life worldwide. The root cause of all destruction is human species. Ecosystems, the fabric of life on which we all depend, are declining rapidly because of human’s wrong actions.Every mistake, error or accident has been created by man only. Going back in time, all the things that people of the world think they would like to uncreate are the invention of the human species.)
----------------------------------------------

Poetry -

Oh, Homo sapiens, the pinnacle of evolution,
We've come so far, yet still have so much to learn.
We've conquered the land, the sea, and the sky,
But in our quest for dominance, we've destroyed our own home.

We've polluted the air, the water, and the land,
And driven countless species to extinction.
We've waged wars and committed atrocities,
And created a world where inequality and injustice reign supreme.

If only I had the power to un-invent something,
It would be only Homo sapiens evolution.
We have eroded the very foundations of nature & quality of life worldwide.
We are a cancer on this planet,
& it would be better off without us.

If only I had the power to un-create something,
It would be only "US".
We would be better off without this curse,
And the world would be a much better place, for sure.

Oh, Homo sapiens the oxygen we breathe is foul and thick,
The water's poisoned, the land is sick.
We've driven species to their doom,
And created space wars that have filled our tombs.

Injustice reigns, inequality thrives,
As the rich get richer and the poor strive.
We've turned our backs on all that's good,
And embraced a path that's dark and crude.

Oh, Homo sapiens, we are a paradox,
Capable of great beauty and compassion,
Yet also of great destruction and cruelty.
We have the power to create a better world,
But we seem to be hell-bent on destroying ourselves.

For we have brought this world to its knees,
With our greed and our hate and our disease.
We have destroyed the forests and the seas,
And poisoned the air with our factories.

Oh, what have we done, what have we wrought?
We've turned our world into a tortured thought.
The future looks bleak, the present's dire,
And we're the ones who set the pyre.

If only I had the power to un-invent something,
It would be only Homo sapiens evolution.
We have eroded the very foundations of nature and quality of life worldwide.
We are a cancer on this planet,
And it would be better off without us.

But alas, I am not God, and such power I do not hold,
My wishes remain but dreams, my heart a heavy gold.
For though I may imagine a world without these ills,
I know that I am but a tiny part of a greater whole.

And so I must content myself with smaller deeds,
With acts of kindness, love, and charity, indeed.
For though I may not wield the power of un-invention,
I can still make a difference, and that I will persist.

If only I could un-invent, oh what a sight,
I'd undo the creation of human might.
For we have marred the earth, & skies so bright,
With our selfish ways, and endless fight.

We've drained the seas, and burned the land,
Polluted air, and poisoned strand.
We've brought the end, to all we stand,
With our greed, and cruel hand.

But alas, I am not God, & nor can I,
Un-invent the thing that makes us fly.
For though we've brought the earth to its knees,
We've also brought forth wonders, and ease.

If only I could un-invent, I would undo the invention of man,
And restore the earth to its former grace and plan.
For with our endless hunger for more, we've left nothing untouched,
And in our wake, we've left only devastation and crushed.

If only I could un-invent just one thing,
It would be the ability to hate, to judge, to sting.
For it is this invention that has caused so much strife,
And brought us to the brink of life and death, and endless strive.

If I could un-invent something, oh the wonders it would bring,
I'd un-invent the things that plague our minds, and let the world sing.
The inventions that we've made, with good intentions they did start,
But now they've grown so out of hand, and caused our hearts to smart.

The social media platforms that bring us joy & light,
But also breed comparison, and fuel our darkest night.
The smartphones, that keep us connected, but also disconnect us too,
From the world around us, and from the people we hold true.

The cars, that take us places, but also choke our air,
And the factories, that produce them, with pollution they do flair.
The weapons, that we've made, to protect ourselves, it's true,
But also to destroy each other, and the world we live in too.

The cars and the planes, the trains and the ships,
The machines that we've made, and the pollution they bring.
The factories and the plants, the smoke and the haze,
The damage we've done, to the earth and its ways.

If I could un-invent these things, oh the world would be so bright,
The skies would be cleaner, the air would be so light.
The forests would be green, the oceans would be blue,
And all the creatures, they would thrive, as they once did do.

If I could un-invent the capacity to hate,
I'd uncreate the wars, the fear, the debate.
I'd erase the lines that divide us, and bring us together,
And let love and compassion, be the only weather.

But alas, I am not God, and I cannot un-invent,
And I can only dream, & I can wish, and I can invent.
I can invent new ways, to live in harmony,
With the Earth, and all its creatures, in perfect symphony.

If only I could un-invent, I would undo the invention of homosapiens,
And restore the earth to its former grace and plan.
For with our endless hunger for more, we've left nothing untouched,
And in our wake, we've left only devastation and crushed.

But alas, I am not God, and I cannot uncreate or undo,
The damage that has been done, the harm that has been wrought.
So I'll sing this lament, this sorrowful tune,
For the homosapiens, the creature that has brought all to this doom.

So I'll dream of a world, untouched and pure,
Where homosapiens, were never sure.
But alas, oh my it's just a dream, a fool's delight,
For I am not God, and cannot un-invent the light.

But even in my sorrow, I hold out a glimmer of hope,
For in the depths of their hearts, there is still a spark of scope.
For change, for growth, for the possibility of a new way,
To live in harmony, to heal the world, to start anew each day.

So let us work together, hand in hand
To undo the damage, to heal the land.
For the future of our planet, we must take a stand,
And work towards a brighter tomorrow, for all of humanity to hold in their hand.

If only I had the power to un-create something,
It would be only "US".
We would be better off without this curse,
And the world would be a much better place, for sure.

But since, I don't have that kind of Godly power,
So I guess we're all stuck with each other.
Let's hope that we can learn from our blunders & mistakes, And create a better future for ourselves and for all living things.
