Senseless Life Poem by Preetam Shetty

Senseless Life

Rating: 5.0


Its hue and cry all around
The heavens stand astound
We have erased all our senses
Even a bit that we found

The days of forgiveness have gone
The time of mercy has past
We have no brothers or sisters
For us money is all at last

We are dying in the name of Allah
In the name of Krishna we fight
We don’t even remember the history
For our sins died the holy Christ

We are living in an age of conquest
Surrounded by machinery
Running a race where we don’t have
Time for a healthy meal when hungry

It’s been ages since we thronged
A beach with a loved one
Losing our own identity
We want to be someone

We are killing our mother nature
In a quest to reach the moon
Without even realizing
Catastrophe is coming soon

Hi preetam, 'the days of forgiveness have gone.'...Even the mother nature will never forgive us for our colossal mistakes. We must face her wrath. We can't escape it. I totally agree with your views. Your poem has evoked these feelings. A good poem indeed.
