Burning Questions
Like search for soothing green pastures,
In the heartless dry heat of summer months,
And running after a shimmering, ever elusive mirage,
Why are human relations increasingly getting brittle?
Increasingly narrowing and stifling humaneness,
Like searching for an oasis in a desert,
Our life journeys becoming longer but more lonely,
Are these signs of social progress we wanted?
May be, poisonous gases of global warming
Are less harmful than invisible winds of inequality
that discreetly spread scourge of excessive greed,
Is this not the result of collective selfishness of us?
Comment: Perhaps, inequality of any kind is root cause of human suffereing.
