Days are
gone, when there were human breathing all around!
Humanity is
gone
So is the
beauty of nature!
All I find today
Is city on
fire – humanity on pyre!
Life is gone
So is the
liveliness!
All I find today
Are robots with
sheep and goats!
Emotion is
gone
So is the
meaning of love!
All I find
today
Is physical
lust and dying trust!
Sacrifice is
gone
So is the
social bonding!
All I find today
Are selfish relatives
and cruel motives!
Oh Lord!
I still
wonder if this is all you have
Or still you hold
some secret boons
Before, I am laid
to grave!
If this is
the end of all
Then I wish
to recreate
a land of harmony,
peace and love,
Where I wish
to meet you again!
Among people with
love
And smiling with
no pain!
Oh Lord,
Grant me
strength
To bring our
wonderland back,
Where
children trek in fairyland!
Where love is
passion not lust!
Where prevails
the bonding of selflessness
And life blooms
with happiness!!!
