Lost Humanity

To become free, to live in peace and harmony,
 Is it necessity or rationality?
To have ego and hate, to be vulnerable and angry,
Is it revenge or sympathy?
Mankind is like a gallery of images,
With same framework but different background and themes.
The compassion for honor and pride, peace of mind and bliss,
Drags youths towards righteousness and success.
 In parallel comes and ominous fate, keeping them from sanity.
Blowing away the righteousness comes a storm of discontent and fury.
 Contaminates chaotic souls making them unsafe,
Creating disputes in which some perish leaving grief and a message.
“Onset of an enigma contaminates the ignorant souls at an instant making them devils of the modern so called civilized society,
Expanding hate, filth, greed and dark desires rather than happiness, love, peace and prosperity.”
