They Say

They say pigeon is a symbol of peace Then why a country with so many pigeons Is unrest and fighting wars? They say peacock is sign of prosperity Then why African countries with so many peacocks Is below the poverty line? They say God is very kind to them Since they possesses many natural resources Then why they try to control other countries? They say God has blessed them with Oil and gasses Then why they waste it on lighting the streets, whereas The minds of people are still in darkness? They say they have natural wonderland of beautiful beaches Vivid landscapes, exotic flora and fauna with the awesome lifestyle Then why do they suppress and deprive the rights to their original tribes? They take pride in their culture, heritage and history Always remains protective with spiky vigilance over all activities Then why do they do things that surrounds in mystery? Reached to conclusion on what they say and what they do are in contrast, peace for them is another war, prosperity is poverty, natural resources used for power control, lighting is to nurture the darkness And yet all mystery remains unresolved.

Sometimes when I have heard people start off a sentence with "They say" I get ready for the blow, because it's often not good somehow. Hopefully a change will come, your words have power.
