Destruction by Desires
It is said that after every hardship there comes ease,
It’s true, but what about the struggle they faced?
They gazed for help, but people stand amazed,
They were crying, starving, and cried for help.
The ship sailed with food, water, and hope in their heart,
But who knows ahead there are hurdles in their path?
They are crying, but tears also dried up with thirst,
People’s hearts are filled with hate and revenge,
Stones are softer as they break when it rains.
Humans are the most productive and constructive creature on Earth,
But also the most destructive — as they build a building or destroy it.
They make a promise or break it,
They share, but claim on something that is not theirs.
And when they fail in doing so,
They destroy generations, families, and a whole country.
