Dangling question marks(Napowrimo2020, Day 21)

A never been heard story, a whole world under misery
Of being locked in, feverish, tangled in its own story
World, no, Humanity, for the rest of the world is still free  

Open grounds and play areas with no giggles or little footsteps
The next generation holding on to the gadgets, like never before
Learning from home the science of everything from language to cosmos
What subtle change is happening within the hearts and brains
Of an already deprived generation that will shape humanity’s destiny
Shouldn't we, shouldn't we teach them the history of Nature, its loss
And not just science and philosophy but the forgotten values of Nature
Of how even the immobile trees are in a constant hug of chants
Of being with each other in nurturing and protecting life on Earth

And
That what we call education is just a shallow step in life and
A definite step in earning and making profit, more and more of it



A whole young generation, a whole lot of their childhood
Already locked in the darkest box of history with invented happiness
Shouldn’t we tell them that we could never go back to a serene Nature
And that we have entangled us in a darkly philosophical existence

Lengthy and tiresome with too many conjunctions, articles
And explanations, how many question marks can a fragile verse hold
