Apathy, no words still
Right in front should evil dare, no words still,
Even if beyond you bear, no words still.
In market square a girl is tormented,
You can’t bear her bosom bare, no words still.
In public space two bawdy bullies brawl,
Their puffed up prides need one pare, no words still.
A slavish mind has taken root in time,
Nation’s robbed as never ere, no words still.
Buds and blossoms are brokered every day,
Grieves the green garden’s grandeur, no words still.
When pilgrimage-like parents pine in pain,
Stones get worshipped in all care, no words still.
Exploring vast sea if you suffer storms,
It’s fine you braved to dare, if no words still.
