Civilization

That was a dark, extremely dark night and secluded area and the lonely sea

Suddenly a flock of birds arose, they had started up a long journey.

As the time passed, they continued their journey on their long way

They flew in the open sky with the white clouds flying, and the running tide in its own way. 

They had flown over the long sea, with the wind’s song and their wings shaking 

Overcoming the dark blue mists on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking. 

Then the flock arrived to a green valley full of luscious fragrance of the flowers 

The insects were humming and the grasshopper sang songs where the people gathers.

The people were living happily, helping each other with a great communication 

They felt and also loved the nature and also used the nature without any destruction .

The birds flew over the green mountain, seeing the various animals, and all the humans like brothers 

As their life's most persistent and urgent question was, 'What are you doing for others?'

As time passed, the sun moved upward, the flock was flying in its own path over the wide land

The birds saw that the humans became barbarous, they were cutting trees with their own hand.

The people were changed, they killed the animals not only for their needs but for their pleasures

They became so greedy that they did not think before destroying the natural treasures.

The birds flew over them, they went on forward, and the sun was then at the top

They became shocked after seeing the further scenes and were about to lose their hope.

Around and around, there were full of weapons and violence, and full of smoke and fire

The place was filled with blood and lying bodies, untimely dead with their unfilled desire(s)

Being fascinated, the birds left the place, and went on their way but they again shocked 

They discovered half-burned naked body of a cute daughter, there really humanity was blocked.

The sun started to down, the flock was forwarding without knowing what more to see

Accepting all the activities as human civilization, they decided to continue their journey.
