Oh Lord Please Answer My Questions

Oh lord! Please answer to my questions Why is there sorrow everywhere? Why men gain superiority While women shiver sheathless in the utter winter? They say children are God’s angels Then why do the little angels sleep hungry and clotheless? They say God helps those who help themselves Then why do poor labourers work hard day and night And earn nothing more than humiliation? Why do they starve and survive roofless? They say God has his eyes on every man Then why do the criminals roam free And the innocent men are crucified? They say God has justice in His court Then why is there no justice for those Who have done nothing but good to others? Where is the justice to the one Who fights for his own rights? Why don’t you listen to the hands Which rise not just for prayer but to help the needy? Why do true lovers not meet? Why don’t they deserve blessings and satisfaction? Why does the child of a soldier, Who dies during war, not deserve his father’s love and care? Where is the justice in your court, My lord! Please, answer to my questions… P. s. This poem is mainly wriiten on the Condition of Indian society.
