Deserted Dreams

If we could seed the clouds above,
with our dreams. 
And blow them to distant places.
Where hunger has lost its pangs.
Where dreams have lost their sleep. 
Parched feelings, and dying emotions,
that cannot weep.
Pain is just a pleasure for death, 
it’s yours to reap.

War, drought and famine
are just seasons of their life.
Political and economic lust. 
Plunder mother nature's womb.
Causing climate changes,
giving birth to drought and famine.
And sickness that takes control of life,
that was waning

Amongst all such tribulations,
that robs more life of her sap.
Is war amongst humans. 
That takes more, with just a zap.

Natural calamities, however
have never, so many victims claimed.
Its humans in the way of nature, 
that cause loss to life.

Most wars are fought on religious grounds.
lives, are offerings, just to appease ‘some’.
Such sanctimonious acts, performed by human.
Who blatantly proclaim, their faith without shame.

Ahh...!!.if only..!!.if only...!!.
we could share a pigment of our dreams.
There could be one….just one…., 
Who  can shed a tiny teardrop from our dreams. 
Be it just for a moment, or just a blink of an eye.
And that, tiny teardrop, can germinate the seed of hope.
And usher a new dawn to life that is fast, fading away.

This is a good social reminder of what is wrong with us and our world; somehow reminds me of Verlena's entry in this same contest. Congrats on a worthy win. // paul

Thanks Paul, Yes I agree, in fact I told Verlena, that our subject matter is very similar. This proves my theory that people think alike. In fact I have been embarrassed a couple of times, cause I was told that what I was expressing is a quote from a famous authors book. Which of course I was not familiar with. Keep in touch
