The dark side of life

We are manifestations of life
The book says
God created us in his own image
But sometimes I wonder
Life goes on
While we die
Species become extinct
And new species evolve

What if we are just pawns
In the great game of life
Falling in love
Reproducing
Raising children
With great care and
Unconditional love
Till they grow up
To repeat the same

What if life just uses us
To preserve itself
And propagate
It hardly matters
This species or that
Dinosaurs or humans
It’s just the same
Only forms change

Life evolves as fast as it can
Adapting to new situations
While we humans believe
We are something special
In the scheme of creation
Created in God’s own image
To exploit the nature’s bounty
While failing to see the light
We are just pawns
In life’s great game

The moment there is a change
We would be discarded
In the dustbin of extinction
As useless garbage
While life will move on
Evolving
Into a brand new species
And man created in God’s own image
Will join the dodos and dinosaurs

There is still time
Let’s understand the game of life
It has no favorites no foes
It’s a ruthless survivor
And will evolve into any form
To preserve and propagate
We are as good as a tin can
As life makes no difference
Between ants and man
