70. Poem

Why can't we have harmony and peace?

Why humans can't breathe humanity?

Why the poor suffer in money and kind?

Why the earth in nations divide?

Why the colour of our skin speaks?

Why it's not important as humans together we live?

Why despite being educated we commit so many crimes?

Why literacy can't make us wise?

Why religion is looked down upon as vice?

Why we can't accept only God as our master divine?

Why we need mortal humans to rule us unkind?

Why languages create barriers and not Bridges?

Why weak is looked down upon as unimportant people?

Why we need to prove our worth to others?

Why we need to have an extra edge to deserve respect?

Why it isn't just enough that we are fellow humans to get the kindness?

Why the oppressors are always feared?

Why the oppressed are mocked upon?

Why there are downtrodden when there's so much earthly wealth?

Why we can't live in peace?

Why love is difficult to achieve?

Why hatred is a cheap commodity easily available to all?

Why God fearing are feared and ruthless beings are honoured?

Why the world is Topsy turvy?

Why can't we have everything as is naturally built within?

Why? Why? Why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

This earth is a testing ground and not a heavenly abode.

May we pass the test of this life with honour and dignity.

Keith,
Thank you for appreciating my words.

I'm glad that you agree with my thoughts. Its upsetting to see someone in deep trouble and it hurts like hell when you aren't able to help them. Words of condolence and encouragement can't do what kind actions can.
We do care and love irrespective of colour, creed, caste, religion, races and nation. I'm glad this is a sweet alternative to all the plight.

Love n Peace

Moonlight,
I am with you all the way. I am dismayed by the world I see everyday. I have come to one firm conclusion and that is that we all love and care for each other. There is no alternative.
Thank you for this poem. It echoes the cry of humanity.
Keith
