Melancholy

L-live and let live they say,reverse becomes order of the day....health is
wealth.
I-N this world of bigotry and greed,where sages beg for crumbs out of the morons hands.
F-earing for death,death visits the bold who dare utter a word.
E-ntering into the dance of oblivion...feet clamp on spikes,as they whimper thru as drums and gong of poverty leads the way under the hand of night.
Night your hand is heavy on us!!

I-n this world,servants ride as lords walk,a norm it is where help is strange.Only hate and selfishness.....looking after one another a taboo it 
becomes.Discarding where souls abode eternally.
S-eeing this foul thing! can the world be a better place? As eerie sounds pervade the darkness under whose cloak vices prevail to the detriment of the masses.

P-ly on the road of goodness,happiness it births forth drowning might of selfishness in the sea of selflessness.
R-out this vermin for mankind sake,all hands be on deck....what deck i ask?
E-rrors overlooked breeds regrets....diminishing life's value.
C-ries of help is neglected by those who claim to be good,charity begins at home they say.Personality and familiarity matter less if the call should be obeyed.
I-snt one's life worth living?
O-n this note as brotherly love comes in dispersing dark clouds gathering in this world which harbors suspicion,heartlessness,grudge,malice,racism,hypocrisy,let us embrace this call to love one another in its ramification.
U-shering in a new dawn with celebration,where one can say to another life is precious.
S-tructuring facets of life,hope is rekindled as what is due reaches all asundry.
