Beat around the Bush ?

Ever thought if you've become the worst version of yourself ? Everytime you pass by people on the road, do you feel ashamed to look into their eyes, for the fear of contempt? Humans as we are called, are best thing to happen to earth !

We took every step possible to see to it that not even a single organism on earth is left unaffected by the atrocities of man-kind. No stone unturned to make earth weep for salvation from us ! We've lost those determined leaders who used to risk their lives for every tree that fell in the woods , making way for our gleaming enterprises. We've just lost them. We are ashamed of taking the blame on ourselves. We are ashamed of our very own self. We want to be what others are. We want to follow other's footsteps in order to redeem ourselves in the society. We are not humans anymore ! We are worse than monkeys ! We live in a world led by kingmakers and clergies. Humans as we are called are quite vague. I've seen people who read only the Sports section of the newspaper. And I've seen people who read only the first three pages. And ofcourse then there are people who read only the editorials. These are the people who are more concerned about other's views on what is going on in the world, rather than even bothering to find out what actually is going on in the world. We bask in the glory of our accomplishments so far, that fiction is not fiction anymore. We see our future selves as saviours of the world ! "Save the cheerleader,Save the world" ! Sounds great doesn't it ! Ah! But it's all fiction my dear ! But do not worry my dear reader, there is still hope. There are these freedom fighters who will save the day at the end of the world.

Temples, Mosques, churches will no longer exist. The whole world will unite to salute the spirit of the almighty tree ( If you want, you can also call it a "Bush") . They have already started working in this direction. The earth will no longer need oxygen, for they will invent a way to live in the carbondioxide atmosphere. They will teach the world, a way to live without trees . All the water on earth will be exported to the moon or the Mars even, to save the land from being submerged. But, Alas ! There has been a lot of criticism about these freedom fighters. People do not want any help from them. People do not want the terrorists either. Oh! What a shame ! People do not want to see water on Mars and want to see it in their houses as potable water instead ! They want us to feed their hungry children and not save the world ! What's great about having water and food in your houses ? It's so boring! What? They don't want a change ? Bah ! They will never change. All they want, is to live their miserable little lives, praying in their houses of worship and then die in them. But is that too much to ask ? Yes ! Ofcourse it is.

If not the common man, who will think about the greenhouse effect? Who will stop the global warming ? Who will cure cancer? Bah ! Who gives a shit about them anyways ! Do not worry people ! The freedom fighters here are at the verge of finding a new earth for us ! They have already despatched satellites to probe this new planet. As soon as they confirm that it is habitable, we move in there ! What? You ask what will happen if that new earth also ends up like the present one? Oh don't you worry so much ! We will find a new earth again by then !

Ok now ! Everybody come on ! It's time to honor the freedom fighters ! Let's sing it together!
"Yankee doodle went to town, riding on a pony !
Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni ! "
