Who Is Responsible? Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Paradise is a paradox by any means
Hell is in hyper action by all means
It is the earth that contains the both
Cushioned in comforts paradise it is for some
Mauled by miseries it is hell for many
Extravaganza one side, poverty other side
Surplus one side, scarcity other side
Growing everyday is the gap
Between haves and have not’s
One side wriggle for supremacy
Other side struggle for survival
disparity is in the creation of God
Bestowing everything aplenty to some
Denying even basic things to many
Happens all these where Sun and moon
Shine for all, clouds in the sky rain for all
But man made comforts controlled only by rich
Nature made mortals fight among themselves!
