Recession In the Garden

The roses in hand
Have the fragrances of blood,
The land, which I left to earn,
Was not like the one I left,
How could be same, 
Even I have changed,
The nightingales have migrated too
Not to gardens but to cities.
Looking for livelihood not Cuckoo
For love to has price to pay,
The inflation and rescission 
Have hit all, Like a brick wall.
Faith of man have changed
From communist to capitalist 
Socialist some, some atheist
Some peacemaker, some terrorist
World spins on axis, of power or evil
What can I do, whom I can complain,
What does my existence mean to you
Reader of these lines,
Do i move your thoughts to mine 
Or does your concern move my pen
What binds us, stranger to humanity
What relations does nightingale
And rose share 
Is it the pain of society or 
Is it the redness of blood? 
That market sells
