Through the open window
A light crawls in
Coming near, it talks to me
“How we’ve gone so bleak”
I stare it in dismay
Yet deeply I think
Has the world gone mad
Or am I ill
But then I look out
I see darkness in light
Mother Nature cries for mercy
But people are too preoccupied
I heave a sigh of relief
The world hasn’t ended
The light moans, “What a shame,
How many errs have you mended?”

Somewhere a guy loses his family
While we party & snore
Someone ends up his life
We assume it a daily chore
A girl can’t complete her education
We blame her dismal fate
We always talk about love

A mother waits desperately
For a boy that’d never return
While someone writes a story
For a few money to earn
Deep inside his skin
Someone writhes in pain
Somewhere an addicted
Fails to start anew again
- - - - - - -
Oh, what have we dreamed
And what has been done
For a few pieces of gold
We’ve sold our loved ones
But now, let the truth shine
And evil take a pause
Let us forge & devise
The world that never was
- - - - - - -
But, I show no concern
The inhumanness of reality
“There’s no better place

Then it fades away
In to oblivion, wailing
