Humanity hanged



Humanity hanged

In the name of religion and faith,
Till when will we procrastinate,
Leaving everything to the dying fate,
Losing valuable lives to such extreme hate…

In the name of class and crass,
This is affecting the innocent mass,
On a little poke and minimum chance,
Enemies are all around to put us in trance…

In the name of caste and tribe,
Women are not allowed to survive,
Target of all feuds and all crimes,
Paraded naked in broad daylight,
Sends down chill and nervous vibes…

To what low we as humans have stooped ,
Resorting to acts so cruel and crude,
Some are brave while others act as prude,
Goes on to depict our mind gone nude…

To the country we call as mother,
Such sorry state of affairs one after another,
Where are we going, where will we land,
Inspite of all progress , we have nothing in hand…
