The Attraction

a poem by Gowdhaman M

The earth attracted the apple.
Every stone thrown up falls down.
It reaches a maximum height.
There are heights of zero gravity
One can feel weightless.
The lighter moment a veracity.

Other Planets too have attraction.
Denser Massive and heavier.
The attraction acts among
Planets even they are farther.
The magnet too attracts
Only when its nearer.
The earth too have too poles
North and South.
The charges positive and negative.
The forces act even across ether.
Atom and planets are matter.

Age of planets years in billions.
Man can live at the most for a century.
The man thinks the story of planets.
How finite they are.
The vast universe is infinite.
Are the men to think only the finite.
Light years are measured.

The finite man in the
Infinite universe.
He has measured the size and mass
Of earth and sun.
The gravity lesser on the moon.

The sun so bigger
Though not denser
Emits light
And attracts the earth.
Are the celestial bodies in perpetual motion.
Forces can be magnetic gravitational and electrical.

The planet earth with life and water.
Jungle and forest destroyed for cultivation.
The global warming rather infallible and endangering.
So for innocuous.
Will the nature be haughty in future.
Amidst the waves of light of sun and the heat budget
The ecosystem might reach conducive new equilibrium.
The fossil fuel meeting human needs
Of energy trying to set on the global warming.
To offset the heat wave
Cold wave ought to be generated and transmitted
As convection.
The big seas have small waves.

Evolution has not ended.
Man’s control over matter
Rather the machines.
The atoms even ions
Have positive and negative charge.
The matter condensed
Creating the nuclear force.
Rather natural synthesis of matter.

Some new trees and plants grow faster
The hybrid too helps.
Mans efforts can’t be undermined.
Cognition of the cognate men.
Stone age to metal age
And electronic age.
Centuries past and centuries ahead.
