A Bad Lesson

Now I understand the world Though within broken system Like sad elephant Mourning death the death of its calf Facing reality with a sad tone And dispirited by horror of living When trying to hold on to the rope But always falling down in garbage den Where only scavengers search for food Making me realize pain of nothingness When people lose dignity to world of poverty While deceived by powers ruling over them Letting them down beyond every sunrise As they hold tight to riches Gained from blood and sweat of the powerless Trapped forever in their sorrow In an unbearable scenario That leaves me with burning pain Making me learn bad lesson In heartbreaking manner With my soul restless Like the sea and the wind As I move around Resembling dark clouds
