WHY WAS MAN CREATED?

The priest sat down and prayed,
and for the next few weeks he remained seated,
because he wanted to know,
"why was man created?"

was he created to be happy to be born,
or to be sad to die?
was he created to gain and laugh,
or to lose and cry?

was he created to be your servant,
and follow your orders?
or to become a demi-god,
and create borders?

was he created to fall from mountains,
or to drown in the sea?
O master of all,
please answer me!

and finally God came,
"child open your eyes,
i have come here after,
feeling your heart and hearing your cries!

to all the questions you asked,
no is my reply,
because man was created,
niether to laugh nor to cry!

Now i will narrate you a story,
about why man was created,
you take a deep breath,
and be seated.

when i created this universe,
earth became my favourite creation,
but i had no one ,
to give me appreciation!

thus,i created the wind,
it blew and saw all parts of my masterpiece,
but a thought came to wind's mind,
and disturbed its mind's peace!

the wind said that it had felt the beauty of earth,
but what about the beauty of its own,
thus on the surface of earth ,
mountains were grown.

after some time,
it were the mountains who got the thought,
who on this earth will see ,
the beauty they had got.

The mountain said ,"The wind blows,
all over the earth but not near me,
please create someone to be,
impressed by me"

and thus i created water bodies,
as oceans and seas,
but even at that point,
my tension did'nt sieze.

one day the sea said, "mountain has,
his eyes too high,
please create someone who can,
see my beauty by my side"

and hence came the trees,
and within some days they started making a fuss,
"sea and wind are busy and mountains are high,
so who will acclaim us?"

then were born,
the birds who could fly,
and the animals,
who could laugh and cry!

"we are all different,
some have heavy feet some have light wings,
but we have no brains to differentiate b/w us,"
said the lion king.

And thus my son,
was born the animal with brain,
who recognized uniqueness in everyone,
during his long reign.

The priest asked,
"then who sees the man's beauty,"
God laughed and said,
this is why on you men I have pity.

Your beauty is seen by,
the wind you pollute,
and it is seen by,
the trees you uproot.

its seen by the seas which you dry,
by the mountains which are turning blunt,
and by the sweet animals ,
whom you hunt.

The priest held his head down,
and felt ashamed,
he was a member of the community,
which was the most blamed.

But the priest was satisfied,
because he completed his probe,
he now knew man was created,
to know the globe.

Man's life is complete,
if he sees,
God's creations such as,
mountains,trees and seas.

A human mostly,
remembers a human after his death,
but the creations of God remember only those,
who appreciate them till their own last breath.
