The world is troubled with misery;Though nothing unusual in human history.There is a famine of hunger for powerAnd the rising of ego like a tower. The world is bleedingWith greed and arrogance freely breeding.We hear huge cries and screamsBut we turn deaf and watch the tears flow in streams. We all live with big dreamsBut hardly act on our dreams.Our world has become a graveyard;There is not a single soul that stands to safeguard. It is plagued with disputes and conflicts;Ideologies exist in every mind but it only contradicts.Every day, we see bloodshed;The world is smeared blood red. The home has become scary;Dreadful to imagine living in this place, wary.Human existence has become a threat;At least, we never fathom a cruel death. We are spectators of all these dramas,We ought to live in trauma.We have robbed the freedom of others,As we selfishly foraged on what was on offer. There is disharmony expanding so rapidly;The world is in danger unless we act aptly.Let’s not lay our future at stake;We have greater responsibilities to take. Good or bad, we have created it;We shall dwell in it until we exit.No one shall be blamed but oneself for this misery;Try to accept and treasure human bigotry.
