Why
Why this world smiles?
When it laughs from behind
Showing respect and shaking hand
Making an effort to be nice
And finally deceiving
Why this world offers help?
When it is not an admirer and
Does the work
And a support that it gives
And then it dupes
Why this world treats well?
When it knows it can reject
And disqualify the best
Why this world is beautiful?
When it is very old and huge
For many things it consists of
Why this world respects?
When it always argues
For it can only mock
Why this world shines?
When it experiences the dark
For the destruction and war that never stops
Why this world is good?
When it always highlights the bad and
Never finds and rewards the good.
Why the world so it is?
When it knows so many people die
of starvation and it never stops completely
the dearth and eradicates poverty
Why the world is termed as modern?
When there is selfishness and segregation to
remain separated.
