Tryst with Science
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
When I put my little boy to sleep
In the scented fragrance of pyretheroids
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
When I feed my little boy
With lethal genes of GM food
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
When I clothe my little boy
With lethal genes of GM cotton
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
When I failed to nurture my boy
The priceless natural air, food or clothing
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
Enshrouded in languishing science
Pushed away miles from nature
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
Tear by tear falling down in vain
Like pearls thrown before swine
Beneath a smiling face
Silently I weep
Hoping for a silver lining
In our tryst with science
