Living In Chaos

From The dawn to dusk
And on the hot sands of time
I live in chaos
Not of my making
May be of God’s design
In this world of more tears and less smiles
Jews,Muslims and Gentiles
And all the sons and daughters of Adam and eve
I have started to believe
Happiness and satisfaction
Does not lie in gold and dollars
But,in the innocent smile of a poor boy
Who laughs it out despite his torn clothes?
And sleeps on the floor, to rise another day
And enter into the world full of chaos
To grow into a man of destiny

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

: ) I'm smiling because you stated "...I've started to believe that happiness and satisfaction does not lie in gold and dollars. ..." Those are words of wisdom. Though I don't believe that this chaotic world is by God's design. Still I enjoyed reading this Waqar. There is much joy in the simple things in life that are free...a little boy's carefree laughter, as you said..or an oasis in the midst of a vast desert! Beautiful write. Annalise
