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.
