To feel frank
It is nice to feel frank globally
But charity begins at home really
We must educate people and part the knowledge
So they clearly understand about an outer edge
It is not the lack of understanding
But surely the pain unending
Poverty is raising head and creating anarchy
Even though monarchy has been taken over by democracy
The draughts and floods now play havoc
As if nature has it plenty in stock
The politics too play in formidable part
The humanity is given go by from the start
See the spilling of human blood
It is cheaper than the food
Any body can be slaughtered in day light
The shine and fabric is just lost to fight
Illiteracy and religious fanatics rule the land
Vast area is submerged under fear to send
Conflicting signals on reprisal basis
No one can agree to such out dated thesis
We are governed by national interest
It must serve to its peak and as best
But not at the cost of destabilizing other countries
It enhances chance of another war and adds misery
Many statesmen talk of global brotherhood
But they engineer trouble in their own neighborhood
Not only endangering security of the homeland
But elsewhere too create more trouble lands
Millions die of starvation
Where as tones of food grain is thrown in ocean
Only to keep upper side of the price
Are we not playing with cruelty with promises?
Local population is aware of politics
They know how it is being played with statistics
Truth is manipulated to rouse the sentiments
There is dangerous underground movement
Global scenario much more explosive
Not only individuals but all must remain active
Build public opinion in favor of bond and relation
Then only in true sense may emerge some indication
