I Don’t Believe Anymore Poem by Deependra Kumar Jha

I Don’t Believe Anymore

Rating: 5.0


Worried citizen, fading morale
They broke the rules
But told me
They want us to feel happy
I still believed

Unrealized dreams, lost hopes
They killed the innocents
But told me
They want us to live long
I still believed

Helpless eyes, stressed folks
They extorted people
But told me
They want us to be rich
I still believed

Scared faces, empty streets
They wreaked havoc
But told me
They want us to feel safe
I still believed

Endless struggle, spiritless life
Thriving poverty, growing injustice
Caught in darkness
One day, my belief grew legs
And walked away

One day many others may grow legs and march with you to truth and justice. It's always in the name of one god or another. Interesting atheists don't blow things up or shoot non believers. I'm thinking...thinking...thinking... 10 from me.

many reasons why man grew with insecurities. to me it seems that man is nothing but limited, weak, egnorant in many ways yet still believing that he's not at all- the illusion of pride in us.
