Bitter Reality

Bitter Reality We say this modern world is a boon, Filled with butterflies and heavenly blooms, A Golden Era, A civilized place, Where there are no disguised, equivocal faces, But these are just sayings of the society, A mask over the bitter reality, This world is not what it seems, It isn’t always filled with fruitful dreams, It hosts a cavern of blood and war, Terrible conspiracies spread wide and far, The victories lead to another’s ruin, You have no idea where the trouble is brewing, The streets are like nightmares at night, Murderers and rapists walk freely in the light, Peace and justice hidden under greed, corruption, All the science used for destruction, We’re on the path to raze our Earth, If we do not change, it’ll lead to more hurt, When someone tries to break this unseen cruelty, More monsters appear, supporting this bitter reality. - Indrani A.
