This the World Humans Want

'O' spirits of land and Gods, You beautify our world, With crops, fruits and forest roots; Lakes flow full of precious water, Vacillating fresh air to breath; I kindle incense sticks, Embellish with colourful florets; Gratitude you for your mercy, To all living life in this world; But oft the grudge rises in mind, Are we really worth your blessings, And boon from you? We are humans, Can't stand others live happy; Some throw food As they can't eat; And some can't Sleep in empty belly; Weapons and medicines reach, Where food is needed; This the world humans want... Some drink whisky, some beer, And some walk miles and miles, To fetch needy drinking polluted water; For some it is the golden chance To sell bottled water, In the name purity and safe; This the world humans want... Some have polished posh houses, Yet the sleep not near to them; And some sleep, In streets or garbage dump; Construction sites have replaced, The green forests; In this world even breathing, Will have cost; This is the world we live in.... You bless us with boon, We see to it how desecrated; We have churches, mosques, And many religions To consecrate our deeds; To live in the democracy, Where corruption is the right; This the world humans want... But our children won't want, They will hate us For our murky mind; © Sadashivan nair
