River

I am the river the witness of world history The humans, their ambitions, fights and failures The kings, emperors, palaces and also the warriors who fought and killed each other for dominance They came here conquered and ruled the countries They formed their dynasties throughout history They built mansions, large worshipful places That the people of this period now inherits Indeed my body itself was contaminated by blood From the swords they fought in wars and cleaned The silent tears from my eyes no one noticed Humans can't understand my sentiments any time Dynasties came and perished in its own way Still I flows in silence throughout the period Civilizations and histories started near by me Where my fertile delta helped them a very lot The humans always tried to pacify me They built bridges and causeways in various kinds Dams they built and blocked my flows Where earthquake like hazards hounds your habitat No doubt still I am your nearest and dearest Taking an interest of your well being at all times.
