Why? Poem by Shama Taimour Bukhari

Why?

Rating: 4.0


why the world is a little bad
Why the people are so sad?
Why are there lies around
Why are there wars for nothing
Why peace is swap for anything?
Why do the people always boast
Why the wealth is loved the most?
Why the old is misery surround
Why the orphans are on the ground?
Why the poor is hunger bound
Why the nations are torn apart?
Why' love' is story of the past
Why the truth does not last?
Why the lies move so fast
Why the cruelty is so vast?
Why this and why that?
Why here and why there?
There is no reply?
There is sigh and sigh.....

The questions that tormented your mind are the questions that should have haunted every conscience to find answers and implement those. 'Why peace is swap for anything? ' - This is the biggest question of all. We never give peace a chance to pervade the globe. In some parts or the other, there is always a war going on, to swallow human lives. 'There is no reply? There is sigh and sigh..... - Very well said!

all these 'whys' sadly is our making. the answers too have to come from us. very pertinent questions indeed.
