Ravi Sathasivam Poet Light Verse

The Mad World

The mad world......

I want to live peacefully in this world
but this mad world never allows me to do so
When I wake up in the morning the sun doesn't arise
When I go to bed in the night the moon doesn't shine
The stars neither twinkle nor do the night birds hover
Today, the church bells are ringing for the gay weddings and
not for the opposite sex couples when they marry either
The dogs and cats are playing cheerfully where as men and
women are playing devil games that ending their life in hell
The hatred politicians are coming back to power again and again
and with their bad ruling, our poor masses are suffering and shedding their tears
Today, the deadly weapons are freely available in the market
and even the innocent school children are not spared for their life
The father wanders at next door and the mother looks at back door wanting out
and their children are miserably looking to find the love they're missing at home
The music is no more melodious and its lyrics are weird words or meaningless
that the dictionary can't even find their meanings.
The say love is blind which is true because today its does not matter who
comes in or goes out.
Is this a mad world that we all are living in today?

Lucilla Carrillo July 23, 2013 at 6:33 AM Ravi; You are so right. It is a mad world, where no one cares about anything or anyone but themselves. As I said once - for punishment of the Country - there are too many people in power. with one good person we could have stabitity. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem....... lucilla
