This too shall pass?

Hey, proud man, who are you hiding from?
Sorry for catching you off guard.
I saw your horns jutting out from your hideout;
So I thought I’ll come and say hello.
I know you cannot see me, don’t worry.
You anyway seem to pretend that you are not afraid,
But, why are you here lurking behind fig leaves?

I just heard you say, “this too will pass.
Yea, I too, hope so.
But did you ask yourself, for what?
Do you know what to live for?
Have you noticed that you lost your way long back?

Hope you realized that you cannot trespass
the boundaries set for you.
Your craving for power has oppressed your own kind.
Your hedonism wrecked the creation.
Now in arrogance, you mock the one who set those boundaries for good?

Yes, this too will pass,
But, do you want to trespass further?
You hope you can fix it.
But it is you that needs fixing.

“God whispers to us in our pleasures,
speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.”

I hope you could hear the one who is calling you back.
I hope you go back to find your purpose and the true path.

Godspeed
Your infamous protein molecule.
