Why have things become like this
So many watery, painful tears
And blackened, sad hearts
In the youngest of souls
I wish all this pain would leave
And flee all the tortured souls
Infected by this deadly disease
But inevitably its here to stay
No matter what the lies say
No perfect peaceful tomorrow
Awaits around the nearest corner
No easy life will be given for free
We all must work for our easy life
Not taking for the me but for the all
What is wrong with today’s times,
Is we are so deeply focused
On the easy way through life
Instead of the right way threw life
And as we all should know
But have forgotten somehow down the line
That the easiest is not always the right
That’s why we have this pain
It’s all self-inflicted insanity
By our laziness and self centeredness
Learn how to live the right way
For someone other than ourselves
And pain would surly ease
And life would seek less poverty
All problems start with us, and will definately die along with us. We live in a world that boils with frustration
All problems start with us, and will definately die along with us. We live in a world that boils with frustration
we have not realised the problem...not yet...being natural would solve a lot and it should'nt be hard
It’s all self-inflicted insanity By our laziness and self centeredness Learn how to live the right way For someone other than ourselves And pain would surly ease And life would seek less poverty. Yes, much incompetence lies within us. Self centeredness is more or less like psychiatric disorder. We should learn to live for others as well. Most of the problems of the world can be resolved by doing so. Best Wishes Naseer
This had more of a prose feel to it. As far as the message goes, there is some very deep thought going on here and it is a good statement on general well being of society today. I think everyone should take a long look at the way things were when Woody Guthrie was alive. We've come a long way but then we haven't really.
A swaying piece, that one become lost whilst reading it, very tender poem.
we are a global community and in community living one's happiness invariably depends on others' happiness n it's for us to make other happy...well written, young lady!
