Yes, let the world go blind
but I shall find
the route to salvation
after improving upon human relation

let there remain selfishness
the crookedness
and cunningness on the face
It shall still be called the human race

we shall mourn death momentarily
and thereafter forget it suddenly
we have to live among vultures
that is our future

darkness prevails all over
I seek no shelter
but compromise with the options available here
and live with constant fear

had there been no fear of death?
I could take an easy breath
one good word 'faith ' comes to the rescue'
my inner soul rises in revolt and views

men are greedy and bloodthirsty
yes talk of peace stability and harmony
we all are used to double talk
but close the eyes and walk silently

I have nothing to wonder
and ponder over
the issue of confusion
I think about the only compulsion

when human beings can't change
we all have to manage
live with balanced views and circumstances
it is for us to draw positive inferences
