natural

Marching down the trodden path of his way,
She realised that craving just wasn't enough.

He had to be commanded,
He was unable to comprehend on his own.

She had to stop them,
Stop before it all ended.

She knew he won't survive.
He was overly dependent on her.

But, even as she was falling apart,
He could not see her.

He just couldn't stop himself,
He could not help himself;

He knew how he was breaking her,
He had crossed the tip where he was supposed to sustain.

Sustainability was not going anywhere,
He aggressively kept digging away at her heart

Oh, now that was too much for her,
She had to do something.

She had to make him realise,
He needed to gain insight.

He had to know that he needed her,
And how important she was to him.

She decided to put a stop to it all,
Pause all he knew about existing.

Making herself flourish again,
She gained back her place in his life.

All that was needed was a massive threat,
A threat to his life.

An accusation to his ways of existing,
And he was stumbling.

Parts of him dying out,
He had to stop.

He was falling apart,
Oh, what had he done!

He hid behind his own creations,
Watching her live again.

And, struck he was again,
By her radiant beauty.

He prayed for her to stop the torment,
Stop her from stopping him.

She needed her time though,
The damage was too deep.

Her unseen weapon was only a taste,
A taste of what she had been going through for so long.

Now, she stood in her glory,
And humanity paused all it's activities.

Karma was indeed a reality now,
Nature had finally found a to get back at the mankind.
