O Man, Where are you?

Novice Leston Baptist Lobo has employed his creative energy in composing a short poem about 'he' which means the human person and 'He' who is God. In a symbolic and crisp style, Leston tries to portray the ill effects of abusing God's creation. Creation is more than an artwork - it is God's gift to us. We have failed to protect it. It is high time that we do something about it.

He dreamt an impossible dream,
Risking a creation of another 'He',
Had trust in the skies and hope in the clouds,
Still, He did create a 'he', a problem.
He thought, "How good 'he' would be?
How great 'he' will become?"
But in the end, 'he' failed to be another 'He'
to fulfil 'His' plans for 'him'.
'he' stamped all that 'He' created,
he coloured in dark hues 'His' naturality,
he repeatedly stepped backwards.
Still, 'he' feels that 'He' did it all!
