One find day, George Bush, Osama Bin Laden and Kofi Anan were playing the game “Rock, Scissors, Paper". Bush was the Rock, Laden, the Scissors and Anan, the Paper. As the game advanced, there was a clash of egos and fight evolved as to who was the strongest among them.
The Rock claimed, that he was the Super power in the world with overall influences over the economy, politics etc across the globe. He, further justified his stance, saying, he had the authority, to crush Scissors, Osama any time he intended to and by doing so, end terrorism or even pressurize Anan, the Paper with his major influences over the United Nations. Therefore, Rock turbulently roared, "I am the Rock and Rock, rocks the world". The next in the game was Scissors, the 'Killer of killers"; Osama Bin Laden. Scissors, threatened Paper by telling him to disappear from the surface of the earth or else he would be cut into bits, exactly the same way he had shattered the peace around the world into pieces. Like this, he proved his strength proclaiming, "Piece the peace into pieces". A stern atmosphere followed after the Rock and Scissors, vibrantly tried to prove their supremacies. Later, the Paper, Anan who maintained a dignified silence all the while, smiled and reflected that "I, Paper, the body of peace, can bind both, the super power and terrorism". He boasted saying that he would root out both of these and make the world a peace loving paradise. Hence, Paper proudly stated that he had the influence to " Cover the Tower of Power and Terror".
After seeing and hearing an excess of 'I, me and myself' etc from the three: Rock, Scissors, and the Paper, "The Game, Mother Nature", enters the scene, and scorns at the mortality of the three- Power, Terror and Concord. Thus adheres that no one among the three are strongest, they are all just the mortal “Pawns of the Gamble". One fine day, ' The game has to end' and all the pawns have to die. There's no one mightier than the Game, "The Mother Nature" and she is the all Powerful, Intimidator and Concordant. "Nothing rules, but the Nature, the Game".
This article was written by me in the year 2005 for one of the competitions that i took part in my under graduate programme. Since then this article of mine has always been special to me and very close to my heart for this was one of the first articles that i wrote all by myself using my original creativity. I was appreciated by my friends and class mates as they felt that it was a good piece of work.
As I sit back and think now about this article and its theme, I really wonder that how true and relevant it is, even till today. The personalities mentioned above, who were the so called "Rulers of the World" then, terrorized and influenced millions of lives then, are no more in the scene now. They are not as powerful as they were then, nor do they have the equivalent amount of control over people's lives any more. Hmm... Such is the nature and charm of Power, Wealth, Position and Politics. They are temporary and perishable. Mother Nature is the only truth. She is our Saviour and Destroyer too. Nothing is invincible in front of her. You please her; she blesses you with more and more wealth, prosperity, happiness and life. You challenge her and it'll prove to be fatal to you. Her silence is not her weakness, its her patience! She is aware about everything happening around her. The day she loses her patience, that will be the end of mankind and human race. Hence watch out people. We are just "the Pawns of the Game" and "Nothing Rules but the Nature, the Game".
