Magical Music

‘Attention Homo Sapiens! This is Rescue Centre for Humans (RCH) at Moon’, floated the announcement in universe.

Dwellers at human establishments on different planets tuned their brain ware to the frequency of Moon.

‘Hello, I am humanoid Prof Dr Bhaskar Rao’, said he extending his hand for handshake in every listener’s mind courtesy 3D mind to mind telecast.

‘The trees in the forest across the Earth started showing predatory, developments at the beginning of 51st century’.

‘It was out of survival instincts. They started giving out 'Pillage' vines which entwined to cripple, kill whosoever they felt came in its way of growth'.

'By mid 70th century the threat grew to the extent that Homo Sapiens were declared endangered’.

‘We at RCH have been researching on controlling the predatory behaviour of trees for past 250 years. The hostility is remarkably reduced when they are exposed to tranquil, soothing music. Exposing them from saplings stage has shown changes in the DNA structure that aid in suppressing the hostile behaviour”.

A round of applause reverberated across the universe.

In the current scenario, Homo Sapiens have the upper hand over other species. However unmindful and careless and opressive ways of humans soon will lead to other species developing hostile and predatory characteristics. It will be their fight for survival. If this happens, we, Homo Sapiens will be endangered! Time now to wake and make amends. What do you say?

  12. Scary scenario Anagha when we are reduced to humanoids from humans. And do you think we as a species will live to see the 51st century? The indiscriminate pillaging of nature leads me to believe the end is really nigh
