Science Vs Nature
(Science is Rooted in Pursuit of Knowledge)

Original in Assamese byy Prapancha Boruah
(English translation below by Dr. Ratan Bhattacharjee)

Seeing the greenery on trees and its boughs
I forgot to notice the roots of the trees
Or the Bearing ability of Earth
Science is now the adorable tool for quenching
the greed of humans for achievement
From the Outer to the Inner world, from the
Visible world to the Invisible Space
One word resonates – Science
I am confident of my Science
I am satisfied with my Science
On reaching out the edge
Just opposite to our expectations
From the bending of the spinal chord
Till we cannot move our knee
Yes we need science
We counted the stars in the moonlit night
to reach out to the source of light
We played with the azure blue of the sky
but we lost touch of the ground
We bought the seeds of desire
but lost the ground for sowing
We put the seal of our ego on the concrete core
We could not feel that the greenery
That concealed the blue hills beneath
We are blinded by our own pride of creation

Now you ponder, quo vadis
Where we mismanaged to reach finally.
Our surrounding is still open
But we are locked in quarantine
Amidst the dark cell we are imprisoned .
Fragrance of flowers permeate the sky
But we breathe staunch smell of Pandemic
The world is awakened at the chirping of birds
But in the resounding procession of deaths
We visualize our sleepless nights .
Our helplessness is deaf and dumb
In the bosom of Nature alas
Whose roaring laughter we now hear
Mocking at our vast achievement
over the ages
It is echoed on the soggy earth,
in the ripples of river,
in the nimble air
We are frightened,
and our thoughts are benumbed
We are crestfalled on our knees
We are vanquished
Only waiting for a morning,
While we open our blind we need a dawn
The golden dawn that will emerge out
of the distant mountains….
